    I tried to explain another important nuance. The vast majority of Good Citizens accept injustices of many Societies 100%. Very often outcasts who have low status for other reasons reject Society's injustices.

    And also depends on life experiences. Your job is going to change the outcome of this survey, even if it is more mechanical than natural.

    Not so sure about an entrepreneur, but a good attorney, depending on their specialty, has to truly understand human motivation - and not just in the abstract - and a doctor who practices his or her skills without empathy or an understanding of the human condition will never truly have the insight they need to be a healer.

    You credit yourself with pointing out "Society's acceptable biases and injustices", but you consistently do it in wildly exaggerated, hyperbolic and just made-up terms. Quite frankly, there are already enough people out there doing that very thing without your input.

    One of the reason many people in USSR disliked Joseph Stalin in 1940 is the fact that everyone knew that 15 million to 40 million people were incarcerated. That is a huge number. When all archives were opened it turned out that 2 million people were incarcerated in 1940.

    People generally would be more likely to agree that something is a problem if the one presenting it wasn't deliberately lying about it.

    Another aspect of your posting that appears to turn people off is your advocacy of the "let's do it to them back" philosophy. You have a problem with individuals being fired for speaking out from a conservative viewpoint - I get that, and yes it happens. (It doesn't happen "tens of thousands of times every year" or whatever your last claim on the subject was.) Then, in response, you go on to advocate firing anyone who speaks out in favor of a "woke" or liberal cause. You contend that a practice is bad, yet urge others to do it anyway.

    There is no excuse for using phony numbers and statistics to get people's attention. And if a practice or behavior is bad, mimicking it doesn't make it less so.
