Great Goldman quote this morning. Even well-meaning ignorant people promote violence by default.
Ex: An elderly neighbor is sending money to the bogus anti-trafficking group “Operation Underground Railroad”, (OUR) publicized by the hit movie “Sound of Freedom”.
I told her that OUR’s executives each make much more per year than OUR pays in total to victims of trafficking, but she doesn’t care. “ I don’t care how much they make as long as they’re helping those poor, poor children“, she said.
OUR may actually be increasing sex trafficking in its relentless quest for publicity. Execs have worked with Trump and other right wing media personalities on “sealing the border” and recently, against public acceptance of drag queens.
