Care to provide an example of such country or a situation where someone got jailed for what you described? If you're referring to hate speech laws in European countries those have little to nothing to do with alt left.

I also think your comparison of online SJW-mob and what is happening today is silly. Sure sometimes they went over the top looking for things to be upset about, but mostly it was for a good cause of rooting out bigotry, sexual harrasment, discrimination etc. 

As it's the US thread I don't want to derail, but it does happen:

Here in Canada the Libs put hate speech on the books and now people get arrested and charged for it. Don't believe anyone's gone to jail just yet, but it's only a matter of time if they haven't.

If the SJW's were rooting out bad stuff, they did a terrible job since it seems like they think it's worse than ever. That's because rooting out bad stuff as per their view was far secondary to attacking the right, contributing to taking back power, and continuing an ongoing agenda.

The right is doing the same thing but more so as self defense and a lesson at the same time. The right is hoping the left will realize that an eye for an eye and the West goes blind, will be enough to get them to choose 'imperfect sighted peace' instead of 'pissing into the wind blindness'.
