By not taking a stand people are still taking a stand. It's kind of the default position, and it's not a good one.
It's the position of the left in this country. They would rather stand by their ideologies...no matter how strange, rather than to stand for absolute truth.
The neoliberals are the strangest creatures on earth. It's like some mental disease. They have no core values so they are paralyzed to act on anything in anyway.
