TW: mentions of all types of interpersonal and systemic violence 

The minimisation of violence and danger is embedded into the oppression and social hierarchy imposed on us. 

The danger of men, the danger of climate change, the danger of COVID, the danger of unchecked power, the danger of organised religion, the danger of binary thinking, the danger of hierarchy, the danger of overconsumption, the danger of white supremacy, the danger of capitalism, the danger of representational politics, the danger of fatphobia, the danger of the nuclear family, the danger of social workers, the danger of AI, the danger of adoption, the danger of educational institutions, the danger of bird flu, the danger of debt, the danger of petroleum, the danger of Beauty, the danger of air pollution. All minimised again and again and again. 

The violence that proceeds is seen as inevitable and something people who have been harmed should have sidestepped. There's little expectation of society wide risk mitigation and prevention, the onus is on people who have been harmed to be more "discerning". The tendency to blame the people who have been harmed is second nature for a lot of us. We've been conditioned out of compassion.
