I got banned on a parallel world sub because a kid was outed by his parents as communist and he was going to be kicked out of the house and I told him to lie and say whatever he needed to until he could support himself.
Now that you know my horrible crime, am I still welcome?
You mean you set idealism to side and used rational thought and advise?
How dare you?
OK, teasing you a bit. One of the reasons I tended to take this seriously is because when I was little my parents gave sheltered to beaten/tortured nearly to a comma older cousins who were constantly “interrogated” due to having a file in national.security.office as members of a communist party. A good thing to have, such parents, relatives, friends.
Unlike other choices in life, some can result in a lot of pain, dignity, pride, and more pain.
