Unity in E.X.I.L.E. or Xenophobic Social Club

Do you think the basic human dignity and the comfort of those around you should be considered a distant second priority to your own peace of mind? Have you ever been so afraid that you poked a grown man in the eye in order to run away when asked for directions that one time when I was fifteen? Any recollection of being consumed by a fear for home and country, that you drove your car at a painfully slow crawl behind some suspicious walking fiend for twenty minutes, before “cleverly” parking around a corner in order to watch this monster from a safe and clandestine distance? Does it seem like a totally legitimate course of action to loudly berate strangers for things you believe they’ve done in the past, despite their firsthand account to the contrary? Of course they would lie, they're probably criminals! If you can feel fear more vividly than you can see colors, congratulations. You qualify for this new and exciting, incredibly exclusive club. Welcome to E.X.I.L.E. (Entitled Xenophobic Isolationist Law Enthusiasts)
