Does anyone in here want to say something in defense of passive aggressiveness and positive bias?

Including positive prejudice as such...

Even IF we don't exactly defend, condone etc such stances and lines of thinking, does anyone think we as civilized people shouldn't hold too strong a grudge against those that have them or have at least once or twice demonstrated them etc.

Or is it all in reality still bad, wrong and that we as human beings shouldn't be too tolerant of moral flaws and any aggressive deeds and moments.

And I bet a lot of people out there really DO agree with the last above statement. But anyways...

With how in TODAY's day and age we are generally SO under constant scrutiny AND a constant reminder that, political correctness and popular social opinions briefly put aside, we are ALL human beings with constant responsibilities and that actions have consequences, I don't think that anyone could so much as THINK about saying ANYTHING less than negative for MOST of this stuff, not even saved by the fact that we don't all as civilized beings recognize these matters as "monstrously unforgivable offenses equally" like that or something similar.

Also, we are told even stuff how in criminal environments or legal establishments, some individuals are more respected than others and that also applies to... NO, SORRY, CAN'T DO THIS, TOO EMOTIONALLY TRIGERRING EVEN FOR ME as a potential topic with indefensible and indisputable dark sides, not being too empathetic with villains but also, or maybe who knows, or maybe that's the only way it will still work and mostly it shouldn't be like that etc... Oh well. But some "offenses" aren't illegal or at least not always equally so, but some CAN be sometimes TOO. And its hard to tell "who is who overall forever like that", right?

Cheers.

And on a LITTLE related note:

Would we ever have fictional films or even real documentaries that may cover ALL those subjects, but won't just say (or even ask) "Is it wrong?" (most of us probably ALREADY know it anyway) but rather - for example, compared to typical examples, are certain matters EXACTLY the same level and gradation wise or are there some differences, but do it in a kind of way that doesn't exacerbate in any way already existing problems, answers most questions satisfactorily and MAYBE even succeeds in making us feel slightly better about ourselves and get us without too much authority to understand the world and whatnot but also remind us that, besides babies for instance...

ALL HUMANS on this planet have an ultimate you know responsibility for each other and that of course its ALWAYS better to be on the positive side than however slightly negative, and UNDERSTANDABLY so too. Maybe even also state that physical strength doesn't matter much either. And that, well, we all get the picture anyway.

I want to post a link to this song:

It makes about as much sense as anything here.

In other words - no, fair enough.

Is a slap in the face as opposed to a hard punch forgiven? Do people who say unfairly argue and disagree deserve any sort of punishment and telling off or even being looked down upon? Is having a few uncertainties and on the other aspect childish jokes about bad things really as bad and awful as sometimes made out to be? And if a person guilty of it isn't some strong man etc but "guess or even you know who" - well, how to look at that from a perspective, and what if you are a SHY guy who is NOT inured to peer pressure or even - think there is LOGIC to it at times?

And on a totally different side, not putting pressure on any of you BUT...

Sometimes its in the eye of the beholder and mind of a bethinker whether it all makes sense or whether or not we get the general gist but ah a guy like me can't help but wonder around ambiguities and complex aspects of it all without merely engaging for the umpteenth time in obvious ANGRY condemnation and shouting "You bastarda!" from the top of his lungs, almost like Rod Steiger did in "The Specialist" (1994) with Sylvester Stallone.

Also, I might not LIKE some of those deeds, THOUGHTS and actions that are even PASSIVE aggressive yes but I might not be TOO hateful or angry at them totally EITHER, and is that at times alright?

Also, in CINEMA, I was darkly a bit intrigued at it too. Then again, I am in many ways an adventurous type of film watcher and possibly life liver but latter not too much for a variety of reasons. But I sometimes was looking for an approach that not only "answers questions" but creates a fascinating ATMOSPHERE and philosophically delves into human condition and I was wondering if it was POSSIBLE in some aspects, not to mention, some of the tropes we have seen on either side, which often forced us OBJECTIVELY to look at certain things in very much OWN way. But is there like an ABSOLUTE right 100% correct answer to it all, no matter what opinions are "allowed" to have and others less if not MUCH less so?
