The strong desire to stay with what is familiar has led to suppression of comment on some pretty fundamental things. I have gone through two phases of this; environmental concerns in the 80s, where we were labelled hippies, tree-huggers, etc and had our messages treated like crap, much later to become totally acceptable mainstream material. And population growth concerns in the 90s, where we were labelled racist, fascist, elitist and had our concerns thoroughly suppressed, only for them to emerge as eminently sensible in recent times.
We are just going through another wave of this closeted mentality.
Let it all hang out. Let’s hear it, not suppress it
