@RickiTarr Also, the alternative is that all we see is the awful stuff, the hatemongering and cruelty, and so that becomes the new normal. I’d rather see people doing good things and that becoming the baseline.
People who criticise the visibly decent could well fear their own awfulness being highlighted by contrast. Hence the attempts to cover up a lot of basic human decency under a pall of ‘woke’.
