Head -> Sand.

I still maintain that there's nothing to be gained by pretending that opinions, no matter if you find them repulsive, don't exist. I don't want to be part of a society that says "You may not think this". I'd like to be part of one that says "You should not think this" and that's a very different thing.

If everyone is doing their jobs right - and I do mean _everyone_ from the politicians to the teachers to the parents to the friends and neighbours - then this sort of thing goes away on its own. I see these sorts of subreddits as a sort of social barometer. You can measure our success as a society by what is in them and how many people agree with it.
