White supremacy is not a “legitimate view.” Vilifying migrants is not “reasonable debate.” Eugenics is not a “controversial belief.” Genocide is not a “justified action.” These are all examples of violent racism. We should recognise this basic fact and reject such politics unapologetically.

Good to hear. I've been in a similar position more than once as an asthma sufferer. I look perfectly healthy, but can't always do things without causing a flare up. I've got a fair amount of pride, too, I suppose, and having spent most of my life healthy and strong, I am stubborn.

I know there were horribly obtuse, unempathic, and delusional people pre-pandemic, but I've been asking people how many times they've had CoVid when they quack like a eugenicist or sociopath. Not that I'm going to get a truthful answer. Not the least of which is because of asymptomatic transmission.
