Yes. Refusing to actively fight is the same as being complicit.

Rings more true than ever before.
They are, but it is bigger than that. They do this because the people who vote them love the deaths, they love the pain. And the people who these hateful people vote in do everything they can to rig the system for the hateful minority.
I don't care about this game at all. But fuck the Browns. All sports employ a small percentage of fucking awful people. But if Bill in accounting was involved in over 20 lawsuits about sexual assault Bill would be fired. Unless Bill in accounting was the CFO and he delivered 7 quarters in a row of growth then he would be poached by another tech startup and given a huge compensation package.
Pensions are often the first thing that gets raided by corporate assholes.
The World Cup makes literal billions of USD in revenue. There is documented hundreds of millions of USD in graft and corruption in FIFA. There is now oil money trying to "sports wash" their image. It is shameful how many little the people who actually play the game actually make.
Sports teams are the toys of the ultra rich. They may occasionally pretend they care about the fans. They pretend to care about "the community". They are a leach on society and the players they employ. They have the perfect grift,they hav convinced the public that they deserve billions in handouts while somehow vilifying their employees from asking for fair wages and guaranteed contracts. I hope someday someone much smarter than me can come up with a player-owned co-op.
Anybody who is wealthy, and I mean truly wealthy has no idea what anything costs. This also goes for most boomers. Remember there was a time not so long ago where you could be a man who sold VCRs at SEARS and have a stay at home wife, 3 kids, 2 cars, take a real out of town vacation, and own your own home. The rich love it when you complain about anything related to the "culture war'. There is only one war currently being waged, and that is a class war. And the winning side is the only one who knows it is even being waged.
The cruelty is the point. We have reached a tipping point in society where empathy is a determent to financial success. I think this may be yet another end result of capitalism. We are reaching a point where "enshitification" is touching every facet of society.
Not only does the state increasingly criminalize being un-housed, they are increasingly using their power to harass people who have any empathy and try to make a positive impact on the world for no profit motive. There is big money in helping "the homeless" as long as you don't actually do anything. All facets of government in the U.S. has become a system of graft and corruption. Mr. Smith wouldn't even get the chance to go to Washington because the DNC is just as complicit as the GOP.
I don't understand who you are calling stupid. If the people giving free food to the public received complaints that it was causing reports of violence and threats, wouldn't be logical for them to move the operation to a police station?
Our country's military is dependent upon keeping people poor and desperate. And that is the reason that programs to lift people out of poverty and give women body autonomy are being rolled back. The economic imperialism of the USA is the root cause of the refugee "crisis" in the first place. If Jesus Himself came before Congress the ruling class would label him a communist and have him killed.
