Yeah, his attitude is just what I expect coming from Germany these days. Blame the people who are actually victims, collectively shame them, huh? We're all so guilty. I reject that way of thinking.
You are basing the thoughts and feelings of billions of people based on the actions of a FEW people. I do NOT deserve to get murdered just because I don't vote, therefore, I'm indirectly responsible for what Trump does.

By that logic the citizens of every nation on Earth deserve death for the fact that they're not rebelling right now.

Re: SW The Old Republic: Sith Warrior
THANK YOU. It's even more egregious because there is no true democracy on the planet Earth. Like justice, it's a myth we tell ourselves to make certain factions among our tribal nation-states feel much "nobler" than we really are. Take the US, again. The electoral college and delegates can screw up the system. And more than half the country doesn't vote. Half. That's not "true" democracy. In a true democracy, 100% of the population would vote. But that's not reality.

Re: SW The Old Republic: Sith Warrior
Thought you blocked me? Anyway, that's why I don't vote. It's too much commitment for something that is only fleeting, and temporary.

Re: SW The Old Republic: Sith Warrior
I'd much rather devote myself to something more practical, like finding my true love, losing weight, all that good jazz.

Re: SW The Old Republic: Sith Warrior
As the one who donated $400 towards getting this particular set of videos made, I dislike this particular tangent. Angela went to Alderaan to get Jaesa's family and then specifically make sure they're not tortured. This is a good and happy plan. She's not there on a mission of finding people who irritate her then murdering them, and murdering their supporters and their noble houses and their friends and their flying manta rays. That would be actually the opposite of her plan.

Re: SW The Old Republic: Sith Warrior
I'm not the one claiming huge populations of people are collectively guilty or deserve to die.
