    Ehhh… depends. I find it extreme to be OK with certain demographics existing. Like Nazis. Nazis shouldn’t exist, because they should be extinct.

    Wanting absolutely despicable people to hurt is and should be a natural emotional response to learning of their existence. The real question as to whether it’s OK is, how are despicable people defined and identified?

      To be somewhat pedantic, “Nazi” is not a demographic identifier. Demographics almost always refers to more immutable features like age, sex, gender, orientation, race, nationality, citizenship, etc. Political ideology is a way to divide and count people, but it’s not something that is reliably counted as a demographic indicator.

      I meant demographics like POC or LGBTQ, aspects people cannot change about themselves. Being a fascist is a choice.
