Well, letting everyone make their own definitions of "being a good person" does not seem to be working out very well right now... So it might not be the worst idea to at least give feedback when you're being a piece of shit or positively impacting other people's lives.

Generally, and I do emphasize that, those who believe that "everyone should just do what they want" really just don't want their lives to be impacted by change. Which makes sense, since everyone doing what they want only reinforces the power structures that already exist in society.

Gay men, for example, usually have zero problems blending in as long as they don't get outed and don't "look too gay" (straight passing). There's a good reason why the RNC regularly crashes Grindr servers whenever it's hosted. And as long they can rail/get railed, then they don't want to upset the delicate balance of power in which they rail.

What is, then? Trump has spent 4 months demolishing most of the systems that stop companies from abusing people, deporting random people because "he's definitely MS-13, look at those knuckle tattoos!", and crowing about his Liberation Day as it does nothing but jack up prices on most consumer goods. He still has a > 40% approval rate. What is America if not Trump's America?

Personally, I think we needed to try and draw more yellows early on. Once we let our grip on the game go, PSG held us at arms length with their lack of fatigue and pinball passing. The fact that Saka was carded before any number of PSG players is a travesty.
