    It’s the “we are all culpable” leading to the immolation that’s indicative of mental illness.

      He said “we are all culpable” not “I alone am culpable.”

      I think most if not all of the “he’s nuts” talk is from people who would rather not consider themselves culpable.

        And that’s stupid binary thinking and he was wrong.

      If you refuse to speak up and take a principled stand against genocide, you are culpable.

      Tacit support for genocide is indicative of mental illness.
