>It was the hands of the indifferent that lit the faggots; it was the hands of the indifferent that turned the rack.

Just because a person is indifferent doesn't mean that they can't ACT passionate.

anyone could act, the indifferent don't

>>448189
Explain.

>>448194

I think my post was as simplified as it could get. anyone can do something but the indifferent do nothing, even if it be apathy, they still retain the choice, just as everyone else does.

all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing

says it all without the melodrama

It's not indifference; rather, it is a lack of empathy and understanding which has caused the world to be filled 'with fire and oppression'.

>>448197
except for that whole 'good vs. evil' thing

someone who just doesn't care, why would they bother to do anything?

>>448200

I don't look at indifference as some one walking around doing nothing or standing still doing nothing. Mostly just the people that don't care what happens, and do whatever they want because they don't care. Because when you don't care there's no reason NOT to do anything & everything.

>>448198
This is true.

>someone who just doesn't care, why would they bother to do anything?

I believe the word you are looking for is 'passivity' - not indifference.

>>448195
Do you mean like the saying 'Nobodies perfect'?
As in if you're nobody/a nobody you are perfect.
Nobody=Perfection

Anyone can do something but nobody will.
>nobody will
>nobody will do something.

>>448218

Nobody can do whatever he/she wants.

>>448218

i have no idea what uoi just said

>>448217

Like The Joker in Batman. He doesn't give a shit but does and gets whatever the hell he wants.

>>448221

He was 12, he wanted to know what the fuck this was. Sound familiar?

But indifference is all I've got =(

>>448218
inorite?

I'm not indifferent to the suffering of others, I just have my priorities straight.

Yeah, genocidal overlord shithead #67 pisses me off and if I had the chance I'd exterminate anyone related to him. But, it's not within my ability or scope to usher in a grand change that will improve the broken society that allowed the shithead to rule. That's the job of our government and of certain NGOs, and they do it well enough so that I can provide indirect support to them through civic responsibility and financial aid, respectively.

To think I could help on my own would be arrogance and foolishness, and to assign individual culpability to those who do not make it their top priority to directly intervene would be logically and ethically bankrupt.

TL;DR: OP's statement is an illogical appeal to the ego.

Sad to say, not true. Witness Burma in the last few years.

Our brothers now are dying by inches in their prisons.
