If you value civility rather than kind honesty, you are part of the problem.
Civility and niceness are tools of oppression, meant to blunt all incisive expressions of truth.
"Nice [i.e., civil] people made the best Nazis."

@dottorblaster @ricardoharvin It’s not an analogy. It’s a quote based on lived experience. Godwin’s Law doesn’t apply.
“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.”
