@cford@toot.thoughtworks.com @khm incidentally i always hated (ironically enough) how all sorts of ideological, religious and systemic bigotry gets dealt with in shitty awareness campaigns as "hate" the way it's such a wrong assessment when applied to any bigot (for lack of a better word) who might have any hope of changing their ways is actively counterproductive
