Silence ... and people who want to justify their own silence with the "friendly warnings"
"What bothers me the most frankly, are all the people who are actually ex followers, who aren't saying a god damn thing publicly. Some just don't want to rock the boat on their friendships with the loyalists."
Amen to this.
It's like the workplace bullying tactic of lateral violence to the whistleblower.
I am not claiming equivalency to the people throughout history who have stood up despite tremendous pressure and threat to remain silent-- but I am sure they faced cautions from their own opressed communities.
I posted my "trip to the herald" a little in response to that. I get very pissed off by the "just be careful" "they are bad people" "watch out" .... it's patronizing considering what I have been through.
