The enlightenment I feel on the edges of has not happened yet, until that lesson is drawn, I leave you with some of what has provoked these faintly brushed intuitions in me.
I move in atheist circles; I have seen them say that atheists are the last minority it is still okay to publicly mock and demonise (and I have seen them cop a lot of abuse and hate)
I move in feminist circles; I have seen them say that feminists are the last minority it is still okay to publicly mock and demonise (and I have seen them cop a lot of abuse and hate)
I move in transgendered circles; I have seen them say that the transgendered are the last minority it is still okay to publicly mock and demonise (and I have seen them cop a lot of abuse and hate)
I move in autistic/the very fringes of the disablism community; I have seen them say that they are... etc.
Mostly from a USanian perspective, some of this abuse/hate has been directed from one of the above groups to (an)other[s] and I am fairly confident other communities I do not know (coloured, homosexual, etc.) could tell the same tale. And I KNOW Christian communities sometimes claim to be oppressed in the United States.
The conclusion that is out there is not so simple as 'humans are generally atrocious to this who are not part of their group' or 'things are less good than we are told'. If you are thinking something more like 'humans thrive on a sense of persecution' or 'there is a great degree of blindness about the outside of one's own circles' then I feel you are closer.
Thank you, that is all for the moment.
