It needs to be difficult to be evil
You can’t let rats live in your walls and pretend they aren’t there.
We have for too long and it is a sickness.
It needs to be difficult to be evil in a society that strives not to be evil.

Racism
I haven’t lived in the South for 20 years, but I visit often and I live in a very non-diverse part of extreme NorCal (2 hrs from the Oregon border) where you will often find folks flying Confederate flags etc… I can’t tell you what these people are thinking beyond the usual suspects of racism. They see prosperity as a zero sum game, and perhaps think that by extending more rights to others, they somehow lose their own. They were raised by people who can swallow the cognitive dissonance of lynchings on Saturday and then church on Sunday. They’re entire world view is one that has always propped up their own sense of superiority based on race. Imagine you are never taught implicitly that people who look or love or worship differently than you are actually people too? It’s not just the South. It’s not just America. The entire world needs to reckon with the legacies of colonialism, slavery, caste systems and violence against indigenous communities.
