Most people just want a good life. If we stopped seeing each other as the enemies the world could be better.

    I think op meant more along the lines of normal, everyday people, not radical extremists who hate everyone that isn’t like them.

    and by normal, I mean non hate driven people. I believe everyone is weird in some way, there is no “normal”.

    the way I described it to my son is everyone has the same right to be happy as he does, you don’t get to dictate that to anyone. we love you for your weirdness and expect the same for anyone else.

      White supremacists are not radical extremists in the West, they are the norm. They might be more nuanced than those who display overt bigotry but not by as much as they like to tell themselves.
