I wouldn't have called you that. My point is less melodramatic.
"Each of us is just trying to survive" = "We are not in this together."
That's fine, that's what life is. You lose the moral high ground if you don't allow people to go along to get along.
I just want people to be honest about it. If you can't or won't resist, you're not in the same position of people who will or must resist, and it's insulting to suggest we're of a kin- whether or not that's anyone's fault. It's the same bullshit of "allyship" the woke Left loves to flog. We are simply not in the same boat. It takes great moral courage to sacrifice your position unnecessarily for the sake of others. It is not the norm or the expectation.
We don't come together to fight this evil unless we're all affected by the evil enough that we see no alternative. See also, literally every other social reform in human history.
