12. please understand how dangerous this is...

When an angry, empowered majority group becomes convinced, after being sufficiently propagandized, that an ethnic minority is to blame for a major natural disaster, the consequences can be gruesome.

It seems like just a few wackos mumbling in a corner right now, but when we get past the initial survival stage, the hunt for a scapegoat will begin in earnest. And then the mood can turn on you before you even recognize what is happening.

It is up to us to short-circuit that process.
