I think we all agree that the Hex Trump movement was a very bad idea. But I'm wondering whether you think a curse against someone (not a national figure, I'm thinking someone you know personally) is ever justified. I've read varied opinions on this. Some say they should be confined to people that do very bad stuff (people making threats, putting your life in danger, etc.). I do know one well-known occultist who thinks a curse against someone threatening your livelihood (like spreading malicious gossip at work) is justified, especially if you live in an area without many opportunities.
Or do you think curses always have negative consequences for the magician? I'd be interested to know your viewpoint.
