We live in such a fucked up world that people with good intentions need to lie so they can have a bit of protection against those who would use them as a scapegoat from people who abuse those good intentions, even though everyone knows it is a lie.
FWIW and don't take it personally, but i do hope you are wrong and overreacting.
- cctt23 9y agoThat fucked up world is called the world, and the world as it’s always been. None of us has to like that, and we can try to change it, but it’s still the world. Ignoring reality in favor of what we want to be true is magical thinking.

- marcosdumay 9y agoPeople that refused to tell obvious lies that everybody knew about used to be burned in a plaza or just thrown away from society. In fact, they are still thrown away from society. Just in a slower manner. That's some progress anyway.
