Ahhh, more misrepresentation! Can you evidence any claims you make about me with quotes please. I don't really know what you are referring to as I don't spend hours of my life here, unlike others.
Feel free, anyone, to go back through any of my posts to evidence claims you are making about me.
How do you think harms to minority groups start?
It's not with a machine gun.
It's with charismatic speakers capitalising on some of the baser sentiments and appetites that we are all capable of having.
It's with the exploitation of the social and economic circumstances that give rise to a willingness to direct anger and resentment to an easy and vulnerable scapegoat, rather than the structures and systems that are actually causal in people's unhappiness, but which people feel impotent against.
It's with the gradual erosion of values people once believed in through the convincing rhetoric of people who can justify harm to an outgroup under the guise of protecting an ingroup. It's the normalising of those new attitudes in society.
That's where the harms start. And it is good to tackle harms before they escalate.
