But what is the cause, and what is the effect? aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 12/10/2017 04:43:10 PM

Yet the most "progressive" people in our society live in opaque worlds that allow shit like what Weinstein did to happen. They stay silent to avoid being excluded forever from the closed culture.

Maybe the opaque worlds they live in drive them to progressivism? Not brave enough to fight back against the people of power who run their industries, they channel their anger against society in general. Sort of "I am helpless to fight the guy who took advantage of me, so I will fight against all guys who take advantage of women"

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.
