    That thinking might work for a crazy guy on a street. Unfortunately, that is not what this is even remotely. It is harder to be “outright uninterested” when you are dealing with a large, organized and financed movement spreading this rhetoric and in many cases coordinating to enforce their vile stances to be exclusively taught in schools.

    Taking that into account, being uninterested makes you part of the problem. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

        I agree to an extent, but this is quite difficult in practice. They’re usually quite good at sugar coating their nonsense, and to get them to clearly enunciate the “quiet part” is very difficult.

        But it needs to be done. So good on you if you have the skill set to illuminate the hate behind the flowery language, especially when they often don’t know the root of it.
