@demonofustio@freepatriot It is an interesting facet of modern life that there is a shortage of things that the bureaucracy craves; racism, transphobia, hate crime, climate denial, anti-vax etc etc. We need more of these to satisfy the number of jobs dedicated to combatting them. But if those in the business of combatting these evils are successful, then their jobs become redundant, so these evils can never die, but can only get worse. So we have to define the crime in broader and broader terms until we're all criminals by default.
