When someone opens the door
There was a time, not long ago I have to say, when the people who held racist beliefs would elect to be quiet about them. It made sense for them to be closeted, so to speak, since the slaps of consequence were always right outside the door.
These days, however, these days it's cool to be stupid, it's counter culture to say the controversial thing, to go against what they teach you in the history books, or should I say "them queer history books".

Bryce Mitchells has voiced his opinions on tons of things lately. Gravity is fake, the earth is flat, Musk is the antichrist, you name it. And even though all these hot takes are known by most of the people in his circle, he's not only still invited to the parties, he's amplified.
Let me be clear in case someone might think I'm advocating for censorship; I'm not, not in the slightest. All I'm saying is: Why are they giving this guy a microphone?
Is that not a fair question?

You know, it almost never fails. Every single time I see someone spewing disgusting antisemitic things, they claim to have done their own research, and having arrived to their conclusions with intellectual curiosity.
Who can tell these people 4chan is not a reliable source of information before they manage to cook their own brains, I wonder? And, maybe if someone did tell them, would they care to listen?
The problem
Again, is not that this man exists or that he believes this garbage. The problem is that his homunculus was a guest in the white house. People saw him, heard what he thinks and said:
We should invite this dude over? I think we should...
faaaaarkk....
