While I agree entirely, a part of me wishes I didn't.
Not all people are my "fellow" humans, at most they're "humans" (and they are) but that's the most I can give them. And here in the imperial core the bar is so low, and yet so many people fail to meet it. And I'm still kind (unless someone is a ghoul I'll be kind unless given a reason not to be) but I feel nothing positive from it towards such people (not that that's the point), rather I feel silenced, and it eats at me when I have to see the results of the "unjust peace" (not that what's going on in the world or even within the cores can be remotely described as "peace") and live in it, particularly with the Sinophobic sword of Damocles hanging over my head (ethnic Chinese myself), or with literal industrial genocide going on and the west goosestepping towards WW3 and open fascism.
I don't have the emotional availability to deal with all the... microaggressions (that may not even necessarily mean anything or be intended), or the "western-isms" or just plain liberalism. I can be kind and will be (unless given proper reason not to be- it would be so much easier if it were just simple that way) but I only feel I lose something from it. Honestly I feel I need to just insulate myself within (or rather, from) this society and live, or get the hell out (which may be a necessity if things get bad enough).
Sounds depressing, but it's more of a flip of a coin or something (and if politics and all the demagoguery landmines present in the current cultural context don't get brought up it's probably going to be fine). Sometimes there are decent people and I'm reminded of why I like people, other times I'm reminded of just why I'm so utterly repulsed, disgusted, and alienated with this society (even if perhaps my issue is more with the system and context than necessarily individuals who may or may not be so offensive- I can hold my ground if nothing else). Helps that I don't speak too much with just anyone (and intend to become more selective yet, for my own mental health's sake), I suppose.
I used it because it resonated with me as well (it's a term described by MLK, lambasting "white moderates.")
Personally you nailed it- everyone knows (for the right or wrong reasons- hell, nowadays most can recognize at least some of the right reasons) that the system is wholly unsustainable, and wholly unjustifiable. Anyone with the decency to recognize it (sadly this is less common) can recognize the sheer and utter horror of the system- something that has always been present, but which now has reached such intolerable levels once again not seen in a century. And people are sleepwalking, or even if they are aware, trying to look the other way, and it's like living in an upside-down, bizzaro world.
Maybe it sounds demeaning. In truth (while I'm aware sometimes there are good reasons- maybe even "oftentimes" depending on context) it's both accurate and deserved IMO. We're doing the song-and-dance while modern-day Hitlers like Genocide Joe, Holocaust Harris, and the mean orange man (and the league of western fascists- equally irredeemable ghouls ranging from Macron to Trudeau or Scholz, etc) march us all to armageddon (and compared to what else is on the table, that may be an optimistic outcome- a quick death). And as you said, the default position- even if it's not fascist, or even has some awareness and criticism of liberalism, is still just poisoned, biased, or will happily look the other way (for "peace," after all) as all of the above trample over any notion of basic human decency.
