You said there is more than enough time to support all the causes. I took issue with this.I'm just pointing out there is plenty to do, and not enough time. SO people pick and choose what they will and won't ACTIVELY support.

Apathy does not equal opposition.

Thus, just because they do not support, does not mean they are opposed.

...and as mentioned, there could be other reasons they do not support.

this is what I said :

I think there is more than enough time to do your bit, even with the plethora of causes that exist in what is IMO a broken world. You don't have to give your life to a cause, but there are plenty of things to be done, even if they're only small.

I emphasize small gestures that are manageable by the average person, and you come out with a hit list that no human could ever meet, and then say I'm a hypocrite. Righto then.

In a modern world, in a modern age, we should take into account peoples mental health. Perhaps Manly jumper dissenters did so because they would be bullied and/or teased by family and/or friends for doing so. Some extreme measure could involved being disowned.
Should they not be allowed to say no to wearing something that could lead to their family and/or friends disowning them?

If that's the case, then why not come out and say it, instead of hiding behind some flaky Theological pretense ? It's been obvious all along. All of us are motivated by a need for security, a need to belong, all of us seek validation and acceptance by our tribe and our community. Nobody wants to be ostracized. Being the lone dissenter is worse for some people than being the spare pr1ck at a Jewish wedding. I get it.
