Patrick explores how social media fuels old prejudices, linking modern propaganda and group blame to ancient scapegoating while connecting it to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. The conversation threads through the tension between criticizing harmful actions and blanket condemnation of entire communities, probing how accusations, silence, and even friendship shift when religious and moral standards collide. He urges listeners to measure responses by Christ’s command to forgive, challenging both Catholics and Jews to oppose evil without falling into collective hostility.
