The current government instantiated a new push to alienate anyone who doesn’t look white enough and they managed to instigate the practice before they were in power?
Humans have been assholes from day one and I certainly don’t think the prevalence of assholery ameliorates any current, personal responsibility for being an asshole.
However, I do agree with you, these time travelling tories do sound way more dangerous than the regular, temporaly static kind.
