I rarely see it condemned and when it is condemned, the people who dared to speak up often find themselves targeted next. Perhaps that's the issue. People aren't refusing to speak up because they agree with the extreme rhetoric, they're refusing to speak up because they themselves are scared of the extreme fringes of their own group. A worrying trend either way and highlighting one of the many pitfalls of relying on "strength in numbers" over individual strength of argument.
