    There’s an odd tendency amongst certain sections of society to immediately dismiss issues that other people are experiencing based on disgust at some of the people airing the issues. Just because someone unpalatable to you co-opts the issue doesn’t mean it’s a none-issue.

    If we want to stop being surprised by things like Brexit and Donald Trump being elected then attempting to silence discussion like this above piece isn’t going to help.
