it was directed at master matthew, not you. you aren't the center of the universe
nobody here is justifying Flash Mobing but a few of you aren't that quick to condemn it
And why should people be forced to answer for or condemn actions for which they are not responsible?
Demanding condemnation is equivalent to demanding 1.) that someone take
a public stance on an issue
and 2.) demanding that they take
one particular, "acceptable" stance on that issue.
You're not only asking them to say something, but telling them what they have to say as well.
On that note, baseless condemnations are worth about the same as no condemnation.
Whenever someone posts something on twitter with "#PrayFor[site of last terror attack]" or a status on Facebook condemning "racism" as a whole or saying something like "forget national socialists", it's just about the most self-centered richard-waving one can do. It's like saying, "HEY EVERYONE, LOOK AT ME, I AM AWARE OF INJUSTICE, I AM SUCH A CARING PERSON" without actually having to sacrifice anything to support the victims of said injustice.
It's just a bunch of narcissistic nonsense.
