Raj @senthorun.bsky.social · 10/07/2025White supremacy is not a “legitimate view.” Vilifying migrants is not “reasonable debate.” Eugenics is not a “controversial belief.” Genocide is not a “justified action.” These are all examples of violent racism. We should recognise this basic fact and reject such politics unapologetically. 0313122
