In my experience, the people who always want to “balance” everything are, with the greatest respects, the most foolish in the scheme of opinion. Everyone can see something is white, yet they feel compelled to invent a black side just so they can be called “objective.” On the average, they are not thinkers; they are noise-makers trying to sound clever by forcing depth where none exists. Do not misunderstand me. I believe in dissent, and I will always defend the right of people to speak - even when what they say runs contrary to my own convictions. Freedom of expression must be protected at all times, even when the speaker is being wholly vacuous to ordinary men and to people of standard intelligence. But there are limits set by decency. People are being killed before our eyes. Someone finally offers help, and every sane person should see that as good news. Yet the compulsive “balancers” - some of them even preaching from the pulpit - are choking the air with conspiracy theories, claiming that the one who helps must have a hidden motive. They call it nuance, but it is nothing of the sort. On the average, they are not thinkers. They are practitioners of weaponised idiocy, manufacturing confusion and calling it intelligence. Many are simply defending the investments they have made in religion, feeding on the ignorance of their followers while preaching the prosperity of heaven after death, even as they enjoy comfort on earth from the lean resources of the congregation. A thinking man knows the simple truth that no mineral, no political interest, no imagined strategy is worth more than the lives of people. Some minds have sunk too deep into darkness. Perhaps the gods, in their cruelty, have filled the earth with those who mistake cynicism for wisdom, and now all humanity must pay the price. The gods are cruel. - @MoSende_
