The problem is that it's a performance. You know who else cries convincingly without meaning it? Actors in movies. Wokeism has equated performance to action. Pretend you care, make it public, and the problem somehow goes away. If you truly care about solving problems, that position basically guarantees that nothing will change.


When you assume, you don't make an ass out of me.

You can pretend whatever you want, for whatever reason, to justify whatever ideals, attitudes, and behaviors your culture has inculcated in you and you cling to so intensely.

Only compassion can set you free, but it's your human right to choose otherwise. But it's also your responsibility and your responsibility alone as to what you reap from those seeds you've sown like so many butterflies' wingbeats into their effects upon your karma.
