People in America are rising up. Tired of the overt fascism of the Trump regime, they long for a return to the quietly creeping fascism of days gone by, when only invisible minorities were the victims of domestic persecution.

I’m profoundly uninterested in the “cultural safety” of the status quo, especially when that culture is predicated on a violent, racist and discriminatory dominance. You do not get to invoke this language to erase those already disadvantaged and discriminated against - it is entirely obscene.
