      We already know why. They’re cowards and collaborators who think they’ll get to sleep at the foot of the bed if they obey and throw the rest of us to the wolves. They think they’re noble and pious by sticking to the middle of the road, better than all of us. Who needs messy ethics and functional moral compasses when you can just claim you’re above all the “petty squabbling”.

      Fascists only protect their own. Centrists are useful idiots and tools for the extreme right and always have been. They think they’re safe by staying “neutral”. What they refuse to understand is that they are on the purge lists like everyone else, they just aren’t as high up in priority as the rest of us.

      Just upvoted, because I believe in Arendt banality of evil. These are horrible movie collabs. Most are just doing their job. I think we should protest against them, sure, but they themselves are just cogs in the machine.

      Also: this sort of divisive approach to a political discussion is corrosive to any good faith argument. That’s why I will not engage any further with this thread
