    MLK said very much the same about the “white moderate.” Centrism kills.

      It’s the bystander effect:

      If it is determined that others are not reacting to the situation, bystanders will interpret the situation as not an emergency and will not intervene.

        The fun part is everyone thinks they wouldn’t be the “bystander”.

        Former firefighter and EMT here: 99.9% are, even when it seems OBVIOUS they should act.

        Pro tip if you’re helping at an accident:

        POINT AND DELEGATE

        “YOU, what’s your name? Bob, Call 911 and stay on the line!”

        “YOU, what’s your name? Sally, Go up the road and safely signal drivers to slow down! Stay out of traffic!”

        Leftist infighting is eternal, but that doesn’t refute what they agree on.

          I’m just afraid of Scholl’s thoughts about race and racialisation, given that she was in the BDM quite long.

          On the other hand, both were deeply religious (differing denominations, but still).
