Throughout reading this whole article, I just couldn't shake the feeling that the question is much more broadly applicable than this. The article works exactly the same down to the small details for so many groups.
Spat at, abused, and run off the road: why do some people hate
cyclists
gay people
black people
trans people
poor people
secular humanists
immigrants
jews
...
Why do some people have so much hate for people who aren't causing them any harm and are just trying to exist in the world?
> "People can behave aggressively towards cyclists because they see them as dehumanised"
Yeah, if that isn't the problem right there in a nutshell I don't know what is.
And holy smokes, just like for all the other groups, the proposed solution is for victim to dress differently so they don't stand out. What about a movement to eradicate the cult of dehumanization? Where's that program?
