I remember Patrice O'Neal talked about this phenomenon. He used Tracy Morgan as the example but basically said people in Hollywood don't come out against someone until they think the person is finished, they get marching orders to say something, or it's advantageous to their career. And this was before the social media era. It's way worse today.
and I UNDERSTAND being afraid to speak out.
We created a culture where speaking out having integrity and morals is actually seen as a negative.
We now defend the corporation and hate the whistelblower
We distorted what a SNITCH is to allow the worst and most powerful to thrive.
We see T.rump doing a revenge tour and respond wit crickets.
We as a society doesn't REWARD smart usually
Would you REALLY be surprised if in a few weeks Ak is RIGHT BACK in the same position?
