Like her, I collate abuse and threats and like her, in my cultural critic role I am interested by the language, demographics and processes. https://pentransmissions.com/2020/10/13/a-dossier-of-hate/

But years of internet abuse, I increasingly I find myself bored by the utter banality and predictability of the abuse. This is from 2013 (CN: mentions of SV threats)

But 2 things that stand out:

1. the paucity of imagination amongst white men. The abuse always follows the same lines. And it is all they did during centuries of Empire, slave trade & genocide.

As their imaginative worlds end where they can’t continue ancestral violence

And 2, very few white ‘allies’ ever seem speak to support me (and those that have are mostly in the US).

I have been told by white women that they are ‘afraid’ to take a stand. Yet more vulnerable, more in danger WoC speak up every single time!

I guess really is #solidarityisforwhitewomen even now, specially rich, Oxbridge, transphobic ones

Any way, I collate and file and report but really, no room in my head for white folk to live rent free. Besides, there is nothing further to ‘understand’ so instead this from 2016: http://sunnysinghonline.blogspot.com/2016/02/when-neutral-is-really-default-setting.html

One last point: the abuse is always greenlighted, approved, encouraged, organised, ginned up by folk in power: people, political parties, governments and regimes. And they are ALWAYS led by media figures and ‘journalists.’

Sadly no law addresses this as of now
