Perpetrators were people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they are better than others and that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. It became their everyday live.
They were not monsters. They were people who did horrible and monstrous things on the behalf of this ideology. And this is the scary part of the story.

FediTip: Racists keep wiping their post history to stay off the radar. Report them anyways.

Remember: "Being an asshole" is a valid reason to report!

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
