I'm curious, where exactly do you draw the line with your reasoning? You can denounce dumping oil into the ocean without convicting all of Shell? You can denounce the invasion of Crimea without convicting all of the Russian military? You can denounce murder without convicting all murders? Why not skip this alltogether and denounce all bad things without convicting all good things, that makes the game of ethics a whole lot easier.

"western civilization" is not a majority. It's a minority who has been dominating the discussion for way too long, and people are tired of listening to the hypocrisy.

Tact for Propagandaist Dummies is not a book I'm inspired to devote investing time into.
