Where on earth am I championing that as a solution?
My mistake. I believed you to be proposing a solution to the evil proposed. Not idly judging people with no meaningful contribution toward making things better.
Also not whats happening but that's fine
I do find it funny, though, that you think judgement is not a meaningful contribution as if that's not how the vast majority of change happens.
I'm curious how you'd characterize yourself then
It's not a meaningful contribution. Judging someone in person, sure. Judging someone when you have a platform people pay attention to, yeah. Random comment on Lemmy? No one gives a shit. I fully recognize my own pointlessness in all this, especially this far down in the comments.
I said you shouldn't be evil regardless of whether someone else is evil. It's not an excuse. That's not judgement, nor is it a solution, it's me saying you have a choice and there is a clear right answer. Would you rather be Steve Bannon or not Steve Bannon?
