if I acknowledge that, then I am forced into some uncomfortable self-reflection that might prompt a change in my behavior or actions. If I move the goalposts, so to speak, to something that is very easy to get behind, then I am safe to carry on with my comfortable life.

So you're saying you've intentionally held people down and refuse to engage in introspection as a result, but you won't refuse to engage in pontification ... WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My story is similar to yours. I know for myself all I see and hear is people who feel sorry for themselves. I don't feel Socialism is the answer, in fact downright pisses me off.
it’s a great approach, don’t you think? I can be as judgmental as I want and not have to change the lense from which I view the world.
Not support. Its not that I don't support the idea behind it. I just don't think that is place for it. Nor is any place of work or entertainment. I would feel the same if it was someone taking a knee to show support for anti abortion or gang violence or battered women. If you want to use your own time and kneel out in front of a police station or courthouse or any public areas you have that right 100%.
I've noticed that the people who try and shame others for not doing enough for their fellow man always have nice jobs and plenty of money. How did they get those jobs/money? From poor people or the well-connected?
In 2014 the NY Times reported that Sharpton owed 4.5 mil in back taxes. And George Carlin signed a deal with the IRS in the 80s to pay off back taxes and it took him many many years to do it. It seems virtue signalers have the same problem paying their taxes as evil corporations. Huh.
P.S. and for those who bring up preachers with private jets, I also find that abhorrent.

I agree 1000 percent. I have tried a couple of times to try and say exactly that, but haven't been successful. Thank You!
Definitely so called career politicians that want to tell people how to think and what we should do. Typical Do as I say, not as I do BS.
My follow-up question is, what are you doing besides taking a knee? What are you doing with the community, businesses, schools, charities, churches, around campus? I truly want to hear about that, because that is what matters.
After 3/4 years, taking a knee by itself has done little positive of substance that I can point to. In fact, the chosen action of demonstration was so easily taken over that people were able to change the topic away from racism and policy brutality and to patriotism with a single tweet. That's a complete communication failure.

Me too..They are kinda government schools though too right? Socialism is a tricky word where more of our lives are affected by it than we think
