I am sorry you are terrified, Birtha. And I sincerely believe that you are indeed afraid. and it doesn’t help here if the only replies you get are that you are wrong to be; so I will refrain from that. Fear is a powerful and primitive emotion that can drive us significantly. It can be rational and irrational. It’s critical for survival too. It is also used as a means for propaganda; eg Nazi’s used it to make people fear Jewish people, others use it to foment fear of white men, and the list goes on. Some glue Fear and Stereotype together to solidify it. I will try to resist a default position of fear and stereotype and ask you to come back and join us because we do need your contrarian thoughts and rational arguments to avoid being our own echo chamber. Thanks, Birtha.
