Be they the Right, Operation: Zero Tolerance, ONE, the Friends of Humanity, the Purifiers, the Trasks, ORCHIS, XENO, Coven Akkaba, HAMMER, CRADLE, the MRA, the SHRA...the minority with power and influence have exerted control over a gullible, culpable, ignorant majority and done awful things. Every time. Lowtown support is great! Stevie Hunter being on their side is great! But its meaningless next to the humanity that DOESNT support them.

Too bad the Madripoorian government doesn't care what Lowtown thinks and would love to wipe them all out alongside the mutants. Too bad Stevie Hunter and Eye-Boy's mom are cancelled out by Bobby Drake's family, and the crowd that wanted to kill Kurt as an infant. And too bad neither of those come close to equaling the power and influence of Russia, Brazil, the UK now, and other world governments and their blatantly anti-mutant policies, or America and its covert ones...
America only did that one time with the UN ambassador who got reminded by Charles and Erik quick. I don’t count the Madripoor incident cause that was less about being anti-mutant and more about having an inside man on Krakoa. X-desk got told real quick not to ever do something that puts the alliance in jeopardy. She even was astounded and wanted to get confirmation about acknowledging Arrako and NASA wanted to do research with mutants permission. So the US should be watched very closely but the government agencies are doing more espionage things than secret anti-mutant missions, as far as we know. Though if enough people spoke up for mutants those in power wouldn’t be able to ignore it.
