Most people don’t believe the status quo is actively discriminating and harmful.

And you AND them are BOTH actually right because they live in a different circle/town/city/country than you.

I believe Twitter mobs have a factor of American mentality that believe that their personal reality is THE reality. See for example when they harassed the Bulgarian author of the “Rubocop” Ruby library because “cop = bad!”

> When the status quo is actively discriminating and harmful, doing nothing is enabling oppression.

So when a mob targets and harasses a person, as well as their friends and family, not only do they deserve it, but everyone else who isn't participating in the hate mob is evil as well apparently!

That’s not how I understand the idea of anti-racism, at least from what I’ve read by people like Ibram X Kendi; I’m not really sure what you’re responding to about fundamentalism

Kendi frames it like this: it’s a contradiction to say “I’m not racist” but then continue to live in a way that perpetuates racial disparity.

In his writing he gives a bunch of interesting examples from his life where he realized he was acting in that way and tried to change.

Maybe you don’t agree with some of those views, but I kind of read your response in this genre of everyone talking past one another. I don’t really see what it has to do with the actual position of anti-racism
