We gave up decency for an insistence of uniformity of thought a little while ago
- ineedasername 7y agoI think people conflate "decency" with "don't ruffle any feathers", and that led to some uniformity of thought. But in my experience, when done tactfully, feathers can be ruffled in a way that breaks that uniformity. It just takes a bit more tact and thoughtfulness than blurting out, "That's an awful idea" etc.
