Had brunch with work colleagues (plenty "international" which means mostly anglosphere tech sphere aligned) and the majority defended his actions. Funnily they were all "allies" and the queers on the table were all against it. Which is kinda how it often is. The arguments were those of a "negative peace", too.
Being an “ally” means absolutely nothing. I have 100% confidence in their total betrayal the second the wind shifts.
I understand your sentiment. I do believe that there are plenty of real allies who would have our backs (as some did show in the past already).
But those are mostly already active and their ally-ship is proven and the "title" isn't something they claim, it is something proved and thereby given.
“Faith without works is dead”, on other words. An ally isn’t something you claim to be, it’s something you accomplish with your actions. That’s not how libs see it but that’s what it is.
Exactly.
