Jesus Michał "Le Sigh" 🏔 (he)

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."

@mgorny yes, and if you have any principals at all your "unnuanced".. and phrased as if you 'havent considered all the information' and "not considering alternative views" or whatever the fuck,

becuase you see you wont take their personal justification for some shit "but you see kicking the puppies benefits rich people" is stated, and if you then dont go "oh i guess its fine to kicking puppies then" you must not have considered "all the information" .. and are engagning in "unnuacned black-and-white thinking" and the "real world is more complicated" or some shit, how dare you suggest that kicking puppies is harmful in itself
