@headline Those words almost exactly crossed my mind. It is sad, but I think good will come of it (ultimately) with increased sympathy. It can't easy to migrate from a wartorn country, especially in and at such an age..

You only need to read this thread to know that sadly, that is not the case. "Why is it relevant that he is a refugee all that matters is the bullying let's JUST focus on that #AllBulliesMatter #BrexitFTW #RacismDoesntExist"

I think it's a mistake though to judge society on the whole based on what happens on an internet site tbh. Most of the people I know don't really "participate" online.

This doesn't detract though from your other point, that there are swaths of people, particularly partisan folk who will see it a drip in the ocean no matter how many facts are presented. Gaslighting is also very much a political/acultural thing.
