What is an effective safe space other than saying "relax, generally nothing happens"? Are you guaranteeing their safety? Of course not. I live in a "less than enlightened" country and I do know when everything feels safe tiny little things can lead to catastrophic consequences. I experience it regularly. Effective means nothing.

>tiny little things can lead to catastrophic consequences

Do you mean things that are against the law?

Things that are against the law or things powerful people don't like. Law is just a tool for them.

It just shows the relationship between cause and effect. Violation of the law can lead to undesirable consequences for the perpetrator.

I'm sure "perpetrators" of laws like "don't be gay" or "don't be a jew" are very interested in causal intricacies resulting their prosecution/persecution...

And if the law is that you should not be gay then that makes it a bad country to host a python event.

This type of discussions are about what should be, not about what is. Your comment doesn't add anything. In fact, it does about as much sense as randomly stating "water is wet". Technically true, but so what?

Slavery was decided to be good, until it wasn't.

Morality doesn't exist and everything that is law is good by definition?

What are you even saying

In what sense does not organising conferences in your country help you then?
