I agree that the post was abhorrent and I suspect there’s more in the background of the individual than we currently know so we need to temper our knee jerk responses until the full facts come out.On a note of balance and perspective, I often see pretty outrageous posts on Twitter but none of them make backpage headlines or the attention this has got.
Obviously you are entitled to your belief. I’ve tried to acknowledge epigentics is starting to acknowledge there are some nature factors in inherited trauma responses, so not argued strictly purely nurture. There doesn’t to me seem to be a coherent logic to your argument however, beyond this still exists, therefore it must be what I think it is.As for radically combatting racism, I suppose some of us hope we have seen a bit more empowerment to challenge the status quo (and stuff within ourselves, certainty within myself) of late with the BLM resurgence. There are certainly shared concerns from me: re increased divided and fractured society. If you are going to compare the Daily Mail & Guardian readers, I think you have to compare what they are reading/conditioned by - of course self selecting by what we expose ourself to. I’ll end with this question and answer.
You won't get any argument from me on that but for every one of them you'll have a labour supporting, Remain voting, BLM advocating guardian reader who blamed the jews for losing the election

I'm sure that he will be back in a short while showing us full evidence to the effect. Or maybe not.
