One of the things I have learned from this is that when we identify with someone in some way and respect them, we heed what they say. When no such identification and respect exists, we focus on what they do. With this in mind, it seems there are a lot people on there who identify with and respect this man. Such people are no friends of mine, regardless of any proximity of experiences in the Mental Death System.
The majority of survivors on there remind one of something Soren Kierkegaard once said; "..man is a social animal-only in the herd is he happy. It is all one to him whether it is the profoundest nonsense or the greatest villainy-he feels completely at ease with it, so long as it is the view of the herd, or the action of the herd, and he is able to join the herd."
The majority of people on MIA would go along with any prescription or demand, anything that would allow them to cement their place within that community. They might complain at first, but then they would become so miserable that they would sacrifice any principle to be allowed readmission. Hence why man's herd instinct is the perhaps the great solvent of an individual's principles, and why we must measure the honesty of those who profess them by whether or not such principles withstand the many tests they must endure, such as willingness to forfeit herd membership if such principles are not enshrined within the customs and conventions of said herd. People who fail such tests are usually potential Nazis. Clearly, most of the people on there have failed such a test.
