    I think it’s more something like if you don’t confront bigotry it’ll grow and eventually crush you.

      Yeah, my first thought was that it’s a reference to how facism has grown by allowing people to discuss it in anonymous echo chambers.

      Ah, OK I see that. I thought it also looked a bit like it would apply to the downward slope of social media and polarization of everyone into hate-filled groups where “no one is wrong.”

      Thanks for explaining your perspective!
