The lesson on this one is the Left trying to condition rights on beliefs. Preview of coming attractions.

...I'm in a little nation called New Zealand in a far corner of the world....

This has challenged the narrative I heard and absorbed three years ago...

The unfree press and their little sound bytes that pack a huge punch...

..."vigilante", "white supremacist"....

There's something going on with the popular media using these hashtag-able words.

For me personally at the moment I'm particularly triggered by the words "apartheid", "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide".... entirely different context of course: unrelated subject matter;

but the way the popular media uses these words to preface their populist position, and to inflame swathes of people to adopt reactionary positions. I am learning to select my media carefully.

Thank you Sasha
