Serge from BabkaI'm so tired of the idea that people we listen to have to:
a) Have opinions on every topic (especially those outside their expertise)
b) Opine those opinions publicly or else be accused of participation in whatever someone doesn't like
c) Parrot exactly what someone else already believes or be accused of being a plant for, not just the other side, but the furthest extreme of the other side
This is not how human beings work.
People may not have well considered opinions on all topics- I certainly don't.
People may choose to stay out of a conversation for a myriad of reasons.
People may have opinions that are right in some areas and wrong in others.
We need to get away from the idea of someone not fitting a mold exactly as a moral failure. It's not a moral failure to be a person.
