Growing this account, I interact, talk to, and learn from a bunch of different people, across a wide spectrum of groups - every single day.
For the most part, it’s a real pleasure and a privilege. You are all wonderful.
And I honestly don’t care which group you belong to, whatever type, colour, culture, class, sexuality, gender or political leaning that is… you’re all individuals to me.
It’s the #classicalliberal philosophy of individualism I try to live by.
Yet today, so few others do.
Groups, labels and ‘us vs them’ othering is easy, safe and seductive, and hive minds a tempting distortion to fall into.
But your group doesn’t change who *you* are… and wonderfully good and intolerably bad people exist on all sides, even in the most virtuous groups of all.
So why can’t we hold all assholes equally accountable?
