- akoboldfrying 5mo agoI think the point is that there aren't many real nonconformists, but many pretend ones. I think it's as smart as it sounds.
- willtemperley 5mo agoThat's the problem with the quote: it denies the existence of non-conformism. This is derogatory toward true radicals and the brave souls who have effected change through non-conformism.
