"Silence is compliance"


Oct 5, 2020, 12:15 PM

If you don't respond to this thread, you are complicit in whatever injustice I perceive and project. Today's injustice is Silence.

It is repressive and intentionally intimidating for the less expressive and text-challenged and occasionally disenfranchised person.

Too often the persons with the most valuable input fail to contribute to a conversation for no reason other than an unhealthy desire...for Silence.

Just sayin'.

Since most of you have endorsed social justice statements, I'm sure you'll be eager to demonstrate your cooperation in resolving this destructive and divisive failure of some regressive elements of society to express their support for the movement.

So...comment. On Silence.

No. Our silence is “violence.” Their actual violence is “speech.”

Neat rhetorical trick, eh?

TU for reference to Nicholas Cage's best movie ever. His career went downhill from there.

It's not about silence, it's what you do during the silence.

Do you listen intently during the silence or do you sit plotting the next thing you can yell at the opposition.

Silence used in the correct way is receptive, not intimidating.

Your wedge of a post will not get those who are silently listening to messages, to turn to your side.

Don't preach at people. Converse.....

i sit in silence, self reflection, thinking about European oppression, Nike sweatshops*

(*subconsciously scheming to undermine my fellow humans)

Those Nike sweatshops are offering their employees a way out of their rural farming existence. Nike is giving then a gracious hand UP, not a hand OUT.

How noble of the behemoth that makes their shoes for pennies and sells them to suckers in the USA for $100+.

You said, “Don’t preach at people. Converse....” to the guy who requested comments.

You used imperatives, as I did.

See how this works?

My grievance becomes my communication; my communication becomes your grievance.
So the guy who expresses the most grievances gets to control the narrative. Your original grievances, if you had any, must have been minor because you didn’t express them first.

Hmmmm.

Maybe Silence was better after all. We were happier then.
