Shaming others into action isn't sustainable. At best, they'll join you begrudgingly but drag their feet doing so and not recruit the next set of allies on your behalf. At worst, you persuade them to join your opposition.
Says you. What if I have an entirely third position on the issue that I'm afraid to speak out on?
> you have the ability and time to stand up for truth, justice, and freedom from oppression
I could do this, but what if my definition of what that is, is different than yours? What if I value, say, freedom of speech as the pinnacle value under the umbrella of "freedom from oppression", and you don't?
> It's precisely the silence that is deafening.
I usually wish there was more silence, to be honest. Maybe you should read the silence less as "unwillingness" and more as "people sitting aghast at what you've said, and wishing you'd just take it outside so we can go back to enjoying our breakfast".
An example is the current situations happening in Hong Kong and Uyghur. And the fact that everything we buy on a day to day basis is "supporting" this oppression.
We're not all warriors. That's a fact of any population. And the non-warriors aren't scum, despite the chest-beating of those that are.
Just speaking out against intolerance, wherever I find it :)
