re: #157 Feline Fearless Leader

And I should be clear: when I made the ‘lawful evil’ comment above. Anymore, ‘evil’ really means other humans making decisions I disagree with.

The greek organizations had developed into a really broken system by the time I encountered it. (My college band got denied a spot in a talent show because our anti-daterape audition song was “too controversial”; I did not realize this was a debate with two sides until that incident. The interfraternity council had a significant number of representatives amongst the organizers of the show.) At the same time, I knew decent human beings who were fraternity members (I had a really good high school friend join the frat which had the suicide incident).

I’ve also been a part of companies that do things that I strongly disagree with, and I’ve had to personally partake in those things. (I’m ideologically opposed to DRM. I helped maintain a DRM system for a previous employer.) We’re humans. We’re complicated. So, I do believe you, even if I am taking a hard line on the other side in this thread.
