New York City's order for city employees to get vaccinated convinced a large fraction to do so.

However, some occupations have a substantial fraction of workers who have yielded to right-wng brainwashing; they would rather die than protect themselves and the public.

I regret that firefighters have fallen into this irrationality, because a right-wing fireman is probably a good fireman nonetheless. However, a right-wing cop is likely to be a racist thug, therefore a threat to public safety. It's good to get some of them off the force.

Just as India's extemist Hindus persecute the Muslim minority, Bangladesh's extremist Muslims persecute the Hindu minority.

The persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh is not a new thing. Taslima Nasrin's book Lajja described that persecution in 1992. Persecution of Muslims in India is not new either.

I wonder if these two persecuted minorities can help each other. Could Indian Muslims campaign in Bangladesh, and Bangladeshi Hindus campaign in India, for respect and coexistence?

Opponents of Virginia's Republican candidate for governor, a right-wing extremist, went to his rally pretending to be his supporters, while swinging the torches that rightwing extremists carried violent rally in 2017.

It is valid to try to tie right-wing extremists to recent past acts of violent right-wing extremism, but this way of doing it was wrong and foolish.

It is wrong because it can have the effect of a false-flag attack. The Republican candidate denounced it as one, and that was easy to do because the difference was small. If you're going to criticize someone through a comparison, you must show clearly and visibly that it is a comparison rather than a falsehood.

Second, it could easily backfire by winning the Republican candidate more support from white supremacists.
