Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam recent remarks about the metoo movement caused millennials by the hundreds to literally crawl all over themselves trying to destroy him - despite most not having read what he actually said. Terry likes to provoke with laughter, and to shake people out of their comfort zones. What better targets than modern day victim’s movements.
Ironic then that he was blasting piling on, rigid intolerance to others, viciousness, and the victim mentality in general. White man’s past power and abuse was part of an unjust societal fabric centuries in the making. We have since begun to evolve away from that in all areas but forgiveness.
Imagine going through life the victim. Imagine trying to twist victimhood into power. People’s energy would be better spent forgiving and then evolving together to better times rather than using victimhood as excuse for mind control, judgmentalism, and viciousness.
