Seriously Raj? You're saying that Labster getting death threats for daring to hold a protest sign is fully justified. Fucking CHARMING man. Disagreeing with a sign is not a reason to threaten someones life. And given how often your country has lunatics with guns going on killing sprees for various reasons, it can't just be waved off as 'one of those things.' It needs to be considered a valid threat, because your society continues to put the rights of unhinged gunowners above the rights of people to live.
But then, here you are, telling Labster that his efforts to get into politics and make a difference working as part of the system are something YOU WILL NOT STAND FOR. You proclaim that we hate you, while endorsing violence against Lab for peacefully protesting. I don't know how he feels about you. But me? I don't hate you. I fear you. You and your brand of blind hatred, contempt for anyone that holds a different opinion, your refusal to consider evidence from outside your worldview, and your belief that violence and death against other people is justified.
You terrify me.
All my life, I've lived in a small country town. I've seen people like you before. I've worked with people like you before. I've lived with people like you before. As he gets older, my own father becomes more and more like you. He blames 'coons' for everything without hesitation or evidence, openly says that boats full of asylum seekers should be sunk because 'you know what their sort is like', despite the fact he's never met any of them in his life. I've never discussed the fact I think I'm bisexual with him because I remember his reaction when my cousin came out. When I see you here on these forums? I see where he's going, and it terrifies me.
...There is a part of me scared of my father. I only just realized that. I suppose I should thank you for that.
