The current dehumanizing destruction of lives in the sex panics has been made almost invisible to anyone not unjustly caught up in it. This is such an important point. It's why, since the 70's, the deranged hate has just relentlessly, steadily risen -- no sign of peaking, from which a decrease might naturally follow. The outbreaks of homophobic panic in the past often resulted in a flurry of blood-letting. After which the blood-lust cooled and things returned to a more manageable situation, one that could be negotiated with due care. Technology and invisibility are a truly evil brew. They've talked about bringing in the death penalty for pedophiles. Might not be the worst option. Make visible the slow grinding torture going on behind the blandly smiling tolerance. Otherwise some very nasty vigilante pogroms seem increasingly likely. |
