"Most people are effectively powerless to make an impact on much outside their immediate lives."
Isn't this a good thing? Doesn't it mean that they can't harm others?
- lovelyviking 6y agoIt wasn't a good thing in Aushwitz, Birkenau and other death camps for those who were about to die, while others around did nothing to stop it. It isn't a good thing for people in Belarus right now with dictator applying brutal force when he didn't manage to win even unfair elections. Police simply shoot people on the streets and even aiming to home windows if they scream in protest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-ynUNGNHdk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-ynUNGNHdk
