I solemnly swear to stand by those who fight corruption, even when they go too far I will recognize and respect their intent, I will remember them as heroes, and I will do everything I can to make their sacrifice not be in vain.
- covidacct 7y agoXi Jingping consolidated power by rallying people around the flag of anti-corruption. Same with Putin. Obviously, neither of those people is anywhere close to non-corrupt. Don't rally around anti-corruption. Rally around accountability, oversight, openness, and balances of power. Doing things right is harder than calling out others for doing things wrong, and plenty of horrible corrupt people are all too happy to call out wrong-doers. Support people who do things right, not people who complain about others doing things wrong.

- silverreads 7y agoStand with whistle blowers, and stand against anyone who seeks to punish them. The correct way to blow a whistle is as loudly as possible for all to hear. Anyone who says otherwise is driven by profit, and profits being wiped out IS the most appropriate punishment for corruption.
