    Why learn about minorities when you don’t feel like one yourself?

    I agree, it’s terrifying. I interpret it as our collective chickens coming home to roost after almost 100 years of celebrating victory over the Nazis without doing the work to dismantle the thought patterns they exploited.

      work to dismantle the thought patterns

      Eh yeah, thought police isn’t such a popular subject these days.

        Unless you’re joking, I’m disappointed you read “dismantle the thought patterns that the Nazis exploited” and respond with “thought police”.
