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:

But this isn't at all what you described. According to the article she was arrested for inciting violence not for posting a meme or saying something that's politically incorrect. And this isn't an alt left or even a leftist thing, even the more right-wing parties in many European countries support hate speech laws and for a good reason.
