As an obscure 19th century theorist once said, history does not walk on its head. That is, it is not ideas or sentiment that make the difference, but processes and the actually existing relations among people.

If you don't have the guts to pick a side, if you remain at the level of just disciplining sentiment, if you can't even say what you mean, then you are no better than a swindling preacher--you are part of the problem you are nominally fighting against.

Or is this just dead internet?

You seem to want to say something whether it has any relation to the parent comments or not.

There's the obligation to validate your expectations.

When in reality we're all off the hook caring you even exist.
