    You might care if someone close to you, who was a closeted gay, is ripped out of their home one night and never heard from again? Maybe a family member, with a black spouse, is lynched for daring to marry a white woman? Or, even closer to home, perhaps a tweet or post you made from 2010 suddenly becomes against a decency law and you’re questioned, tortured, and jailed for it?

    At what point, exactly, would it behoove you to care? When it’s your neck on the line only?
