>online mobs and local activists looking for a targe
Do these actually exist in their local environment or are people just afraid because of what's going on over the media networks? Forgive me, as I'm outside of where you are and I often see people being afraid of things that aren't often there.
- pyuser583 5y agoThey’re mostly older folks. Not tech savvy. I doubt it’s the twitterotti. Not sure where there fear is from. Part of it is simply not wanting to be racist, but not knowing what racism means (as a consensus definition). The author mentioned going from most left wing to right wing without changing opinions. That’s what’s going on here … the definition of “racist” is vague so it’s better to move as far to the left as possible. I think it’s the uncertainty over what is acceptable that’s causing fear.
