Our society has learned to promote #complacency into a virtue. You call it a "moderate stance", and it's suddenly a good thing. Opposing evil is bad; it's extremist position, almost as bad as the evil itself. Complacency sounds bad too. But "hey, I don't support evil, I just keep an open mind, a moderate position here", and you're suddenly a praiseworthy person. Maybe "just a little, necessary amount of evil" is good, after all.
"I don't support slavery. I just want cheap goods, and I don't want to know how come they're cheap."
"I don't support animal cruelty, I just want cheap meat, and I don't want anyone to point out to me why it's cheap."
"I am tolerant of LGBTQ+ people, I just don't wanna see them."
"I don't want disabled people to die, I just expect that they find a job."
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

People who say things that make you wonder how they successfully put on pants this morning. Opinions with no facts. Confidence with no competence.

I kind of hate everything about the WEF & to me, PM Carney is a huge disappointment on multiple fronts, BUT I kind of have to admit that this speech is kinda fire & I'm really glad someone pointed out that the emperor is wearing no clothes & nations need to get off their asses & do something about it.
