@Remittancegirl @cstross There's also the "this could be me" angle.
One of biggest mis-steps the govt in Poland did was when they arrested a trans activist who was controversial in her own community, i.e. an easy target. There was a small and *slightly* violent protest - and then the police lost their cool. They ended up - and this is key - detaining random passers by who just looked suspicious. Within days you couldn't walk 500m in Warsaw without seeing a rainbow flag or six.
