They're also the type to pride themselves on having no-filter, "I speak my mind and I don't care who gets offended" personalities. I'm essentially saying that a lot of them have fought back against minorities who they feel perpetuate their problems and this is the result. I feel like that is too broad of a generalisation because I'm not PC but not Anti-PC and saying that only a certain group of people can be the cause of this.

Besides, what does an EU referendum have to do with LGBT hate crime? Well, I can come up with an indirect reasoning. Let's assume that anti-LGBT hate crimes drastically increased for real, and this data is not caused by increase in number of recorded cases. Human brain follows simple patterns, and state of mind of these individuals has an impact on social consciousness A very popular theory in neuroscience, Hebbian Theory says that "Let us assume that the persistence or repetition of a reverberatory activity (or "trace") tends to induce lasting cellular changes that add to its stability.… When an axon of cell A is near enough to excite a cell B and repeatedly or persistently takes part in firing it, some growth process or metabolic change takes place in one or both cells such that A's efficiency, as one of the cells firing B, is increased." It simply means that somehow correlated concepts or behaviors will provoke each other. In this case, decision to leave EU was isolationist. This concept is linked to euro-skepticism. Both isolationist and euro-skepticism are concepts whose goal is to uniformize the society. What other notions have their roots in maintaining uniformity ? Racism and Homophobia. From a reverse approach, you can observe the same phenomenon: More globalized countries are less homophobic and racist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
