    My point still stands. If there’s evidence that someone has done terrible things, then most reasonable people aren’t going to stick up for that person. I’m not sure what relevance not knowing the people involved has. Normal people are angry at Neo Nazis even though they may not know one personally.

        What’s the minimum you’d count as strong enough evidence to justify anger at the accused?

          (Disregard that pm, wrong community)

          The word of an authority that I respect would do it.

            “an authority that you respect”? So truth doesnt matter, just the status of the person stating it? You should rethink your values

              I said that the word of an authority that I respect would do it.

              And by “do it” I meant (in reply to [email protected]) that it would justify anger at the accused.

              That’s pretty far from truth. It’s putting my trust in an authority.
