If they’re too coward to stand alone, they should come out as a group.
Yes, they should come out as a group. I don’t think the matter is necessarily one of cowardice. I think it is the idea that one person would have no effect.
I might be willing to risk my life to save my country, but I would not be willing to give up my life when there is not only no effect, but no one even notices it. I can imagine people in their position doing the math.
Another factor. I have learned that a common tactic among those who are evil is to divide and conquer. By keeping victims separated, each victim thinks “maybe it’s just me and I’m just a little unimportant person compared to the powerful victimizer. No one will believe me Or even pay attention to what I’m saying”. Once the dam breaks, victims are more likely to come forward. (Example: Penn State Sandusky victims)
