The (unlikely) fact the person has done nothing wrong seems to be an irrelevancy: an immoral government will target per anyway.
See model-citizen Uyghurs becoming targeted by the Chinese government just for being Uyghurs.
- gambiting 6y agoWell the example I like to give is that pre WW2 many countries gathered completely normal census data, but of course during WW2 Nazis used it to find out exactly where Jews lived. So the data was collected with perfectly good intentions and it was then used to kill people. To which of course all I hear is "Well yes, but that's not going to happen to the UK, so I don't think it's important"
- garbagetime 6y agoOn the one hand antisemitism is definitely a massive, deep issue in the Labour party. On the other hand there's no way Jews could be systematically targeted in the future.
