At that point, the only people deserving of respect are the ones who stayed true to themselves until the bitter end, refusing to hide behind hollow slogans that most of them never even believed in to begin with.
Those looking for an excuse will always find one, but hiding behind the collective is one of the deepest flaws within large organizations; it’s the path of least resistance, or rather, the complete absence of any real conviction.
If you ask me, there are plenty of folks in this crowd who are just playing a part, much like someone pretending to be something they aren't just to fit in at a local fair.
It really doesn't matter what narrative you try to push; some people adopt a persona as a temporary mask, while others actually live by the values they claim to hold.
Besides, I don't recall seeing much moralizing from you back when everyone was out posing for photos in an empty Washington, D.C., right in the middle of all that crackdown. Now, suddenly, everyone is acting like a judge over these recent events. Reading through these posts, it seems the fans can be just as hypocritical as anyone else.
