I don't think the point was about half decent vs. a quarter decent.
As evil/bad as the situation was; non-violence only helps if someone loses more than they gain by just killing you. In this case it was by losing the moral high-ground that was valued by some British people at least. Sure it probably wasn't decent people among the perpetrators, but the pearl clutchers back home.
- objektif 7y agoHow is this even related to the discussion?? You dont think there are some decent Chinese somewhere?
