[QUOTE="Vendor-Lazarus, post: 14717, member: 4"] The only way to stop some people from doing something you don't want, is to fight them. Not necessarily physically, as there might still be 2 boxes left.. "Silent is assent...". "First they came for...". "All it takes for evil to win...". Have you heard these? I agree with not having a black and white outlook though, but when push comes to shove, you need to know where you stand. While also being aware of the shifting of the overton window, and the slippery slope (which is rarely a fallacy). I'll also agree that when it's gray vs gray, professing to stand with this or that gray alone is rarely accomplishing any goals. Sadly, people seem to gravitate towards dualism, whatever the political landscape is. Be it kings and peasants, nobles and republicans, dictators and revolutionaries, rich and workers, or left and right-wing. That doesn't mean some groupings or organizations aren't totally evil. They are. Rarely if ever do the opposite occur, when an entity is entirely good. Nuance shouldn't be lost, but neither should one stop weighing the scales. Preferably without considerations towards a risk-averse strategy. [/QUOTE]
