Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I don't think it actually has anything to do with gender, sexuality, skin color, etc. Those groups are just visible targets that are easy to justify targeting. It's about hateful people having a group of "others" to fight against in order to inflate their own egos and sense of self worth.
Yeah, like Punching down, when you feel oppressed, you find a target to feel like you are better than, to aim your hatred. Unhappy people who feel trapped, under capitalism, finding a way to see the grass is greener on their side of the fence. Shit way to cope, and understanding it doesn't mean it's in any way excusable, only that understanding why, is the first step, if we want to question and turn these people back to the light.
Yeah, it's definitely not excusable behavior. A lot of these people build their own prisons that make them feel trapped.
