Imagine my surprise when after January 6th I saw more than a few articles praising people for turning in their close relatives for having attended the Capitol protest. I had thought that only happened in Stalinist Russia, i.e. turning in your parents or brothers and sisters to the State for political motives.
- sofixa 6y agoIt would be for political motives if the stage would somehow reward you, like bumping you up in the list for villas or fancy cars, or just having "good person, rats on their family" in your file for later. Denouncing crimes, especially crimes some people consider to be among the worst possible, against democracy, even when committed by close family members, is purely a matter of personal choice and conscience.
