(6,151 posts)Saying - truthfully - that something reflects poorly on someone doesn't NECESSARILY mean you 'think less of' them than of another. That might be a temporary error on their part. But when people refuse to recognize the deal they've made with the devil, they become complicit in the results. That I can never excuse because it's ultimately bending over the wrong way, and BTW enabling the plutocrats to continue in THEIR wrong ways. They'll point to their contented slaves and say slavery's fine, look how happy they are!
By delaying the tipping point and making the eventual revolt even worse, those who comply now actually have a great deal of fault in whatever happens later. Hopefully the next revolt will be less bloody and violent, but that would go against historical precedent. Anyone who truly cares about anything but his own comfort and convenience had better help put the brakes on now by fighting for justice before the rest of suffering humanity simply blows up and the whole damn world goes blooey.
Which is harder or worse, getting your back up NOW while there's still a chance of peaceful resolutions, or waiting until the rest of us have to fight for our lives? You don't seem to realize the pitchforks are already coming out. I don't want to see that - but we all will if more people don't stop this hand kissing shit.
