The man owns a social media platform. He bought the social media platform to give himself a microphone to promote his idea of "free speech," which is actually just hate speech.

Silence in the face of oppression, prejudice and abuse IS complictity. Neutrality benefits the oppressor, not the oppressed. Neutrality also benefits YOU. These are facts. A fact is suddenly no longer a fact simply because of who said it.

Absolutely not. Do you honestly think that this quote no longer applies to ANY situation, globally, ever again? That is EXTREMELY narrow-minded, and to be quite honest, quite pathetic. This quote, is stating FACTS. You can't deny facts, otherwise you are simply an idiot.

Would they even be recorded - truthfully?

It's not about the person, it's about the weight these words carry for present and future events. This quote does not matter any less simply from whom these words came from. If people took this quote to heart, it may actually save someone's life one day.

Thank you for being someone who understood this, too. Far too many people missed the point of this post.

From things that I've witnessed personally around me, people who remain neutral about many things usually don't know as much as they think they do about those things.

As I said, think DEEPLY about this question. If you do that, it'll give you an answer. "By staying silent, will anything possibly get worse? By staying silent, will anything possibly get better?"

Neutrality only benefits YOU.

Posed to you*

Ponder the question I posed to. And do it deeply. Because it might just save someone's life.
January 22, 2025 at 6:56 PM
And peace certainly has never been given freely. Ask yourself, "By staying silent, will anything possibly get worse? By staying silent, will anything possibly get better?". If the answer is yes to the first question, then you need to take a side.

Except peace has never led to any course of action. Peaceful protests don't help or change anything. If peaceful protests worked, the world wouldn't be the way that it is now. You have to fight for peace. It's not going to appear on its own. It won't fall from the sky.

People are terrified, and they should be. Terrible things are going to happen. Always assume that people have the power to do what they want. Especially if they're rich. Be prepared and aware of the worst-case scenarios.

You, nor anyone, shouldn't be ignoring the suffering that he is and will be bringing to countless innocent, vulnerable people.

It's not about the person, it's about the weight these words carry for present and future events.

And how did you manage to link this very important idea to "escalating conflict at every opportunity" exactly? It's not about that. This cannot be your takeaway? Silence in the face of oppression and torment is complicity. Silence is often taken as agreement by oppressors.
January 22, 2025 at 6:32 PM
It's not a situational idea. It's about humanity, morality, decency and respect. This planet and all its inhabitants, flora, fauna and humans alike, cannot afford neutrality anymore. It's about doing what's right. Neutrality is one of the things that got us to this state.

I'd also like to add that just being aware of something atrocious is enough sometimes. Some of us may not be able to do/add anything of value to aid a cause, but awareness is just as important.
January 22, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Not enough people understand this. There is no fuzzy grey area of morality. You are either for it or against it. If you don't know enough about it, EDUCATE YOURSELF.

Funny how this is happening since the somewhat-sentient-orange won the elections. AGAIN.
