Even more annoying is that no one who invokes this "deeper grasp of human dignity" is able to explain what exactly the content of that understanding is, what grounds it, and what barred previous generations from grasping it.
Replying to @CatholicSmark
The whole emphasis on the dignity thing now is so off-putting. It's not that I didn't believe in human dignity before, I just find it completely absurd that the Catholic faith and the popes themselves were just off in their understanding of human dignity until the1980s apparently

The police are now treating the attack on actress Dame Helen Mirren, 80, as a hate crime after footage of a pro-Palestine lunatic verbally abusing her and her husband was shared online.

A young Scottish boy is going viral after refusing to join an Islamic prayer at a mosque during a school trip in the UK. While the rest of the group knelt and took part, he stayed standing, quietly staying true to his Christian faith. Simple courage. Well done, lad. ✝️🇬🇧

Police X accounts commenting on Nowak case missing the point? We are beyond *what happened* Now we're deep into 'Bonfire of the Vanities' territory, where an incident becomes a totem for what's already known. Which is police have been idelogically compromised.

So we now know that in the mindset of the UK's police forces, an allegation of racist abuse is a FAR more serious matter than someone bleeding to death on a pavement after being stabbed 5 times.

There is a quiet obscenity in the way the system now tries to tidy this up: a conviction, an apology, an investigation by the watchdog – as if the core horror is a PR problem that can be managed rather than a moral collapse on a Southampton street. Henry Nowak was an 18‑year‑old described as a soft, gentle soul who “lit up a room”, yet in his final moments the state saw not a child in need of help but a stereotype to be restrained, processed and ignored while the real killer stood there playing the role of the aggrieved complainant. If police officers are more terrified of a racism allegation than of leaving a boy to die in handcuffs, training has become a liability, not a safeguard. The only meaningful tribute to Henry is not another glossy “lessons learned” document, but a ruthless dismantling of any doctrine inside policing that teaches officers to suspend basic humanity the moment someone weaponises identity.
