- boston_clone 3mo agoi don’t think statements like this help reinforce how serious the situation is; rather, it subtly normalizes it.
- andriy_koval 3mo agoNormal/not normal is a matter of opinion. It sounds like it is normal for majority of political elite as well as voters, since this is not top of political agenda in this country. It is not normal from my point of view, but I am not sure what can I do about this.
- boston_clone 3mo agoat a micro/personal level, absolutely keep having the tough conversation that it’s not okay if the topics arise in your circles. encourage others to reflect on the issue more if they seem apathetic, and paint various pictures to help folks overcome their own biases. conjuring empathy in others is not easy, but it is worth it.
