    It’s telling that you just assume none of us have ever willingly ended up on the street over our aherence to personal conviction. That we’ve only ever been the only person we can be in select positions of privledge and never suffered severe consequences for it.

    It’s the assumption made by the kind of cowards who then chastise me as being irresponsible for having the courage to repeatedly face down those exact consequences.

      “YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! I NEEDED THE MONEY!! THAT’S WHY I HAD TO WORK AS A GUARD AT THE CONCENTRATION CAMP!! MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE STARVED LIKE THE PRISONERS!! NOOOO!!”

      same shit, different degree. Having morals and principles means facing consequences and sometimes people don’t want to face those consequences, so they do away with their morals. They had to do it, don’t you see?
