I would be the first person you might ask to admit my complicity in war crimes perpetrated by my government. I am involved in anti-war and pro-human movements but I readily admit that my quality of life is built on the backs of many innocent lives and deaths.
- kolbe 10y agoSo, you're just as much of a hypocrite as Rand? She also dedicated her life to ending behaviors she hated in the US government, but was nevertheless subjected to the consequences of her failure to stop them.
- wavefunction 10y agoNo, I am what you would call honest and imperfect, whereas Rand is dishonest and imperfect.
- kolbe 10y agoNo, you're not. You live in the US. You pay taxes. Those taxes pay to kill/torture/subjugate people around the world. If you don't leave the country, giving up an entire life that you made for yourself with friends and family here, then you are the exact same type of hypocrite. You say you hate the wars. You even take some actions to try to stop them, but in the end, you pay for them and/or work for the entity that is perpetuating them. (note: I obviously believe neither of you are hypocrites. I'm just trying to make a point.)
