W1379: Thomas Sowell – Confusing Victimhood with Virtue

[People] often make the fatal error of confusing victimhood with virtue [They] line up on the side of the victim, instead of lining up on the side of a moral principle. Yet nothing has been more common in history than for victims to become oppressors when they gain power —Thomas Sowell, Race and Culture: A World View

W1130: Julie Borowski - Nothing Virtuous About Stealing — There is nothing virtuous about spending other people’s money without their consent—no matter how well-intentioned the cause.

1108: John Stuart Mill – Dare to be Different

No Comments on 1108: John Stuart Mill – Dare to be Different

F1108: John Stuart Mill - Dare to be Different — The mere example of nonconformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service. Precisely because the tyranny of opinion is such as to make eccentricity a reproach. It is desirable, in order to break through that tyranny, that people should be eccentric. Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigour, and moral courage which it contained. —John Stuart Mill
