Newgrounds is a good website.
I will not speak on people who refuse to act on their fear, because while they are cowards they are not the kind of coward who bother me enough to talk about them, they mostly hide in their holes shivering, i'm talking about those who rationalized their cowardice and externalized it, those who when you decide to act on what you believe would be fun and just hold your arm back and tell you that it is not worth it.
They see the a corporate conglomerate stomp on your believes and make your work or hobbies impossible and claim that your actions would mean nothing to them they'd still do business, The ones who see the government stomp on your rights and already surrendered because in their brain any resistance has already been defeated.
If you where a cowards that kept to himself, thats acceptable in my eyes because your life is your own to live, But when you are a cowards that drags other down to your cowardice you are a stain in the collective mankind. Why do you deride those who abandon a den of missinformation and hatred as wasting their time? Why do you loudly claim those who abandon supports for the brands that betrayed them are missplacing their efforts? Why do you shout that someone's resistance only endangers the collective?
Is it because the potential disruption to your lifestyle? Is it because you hate to be judged a coward in your innaction?
Well your comfort is the boot that crushes my neck, There might not be that many peaceful avenues of protest, peaceful disruption might be treated as terribly as violent revolution. But every person who acts in as small a way as they can possible muster is worth a hundredfold of every coward who attempts to drag other downs to their cowardice. They might have many rationalizations on why be a coward, they might have a family, they might be struggling with bills but plenty of those resisting, protesting and abstaining have family, bill, and jobs and they choosed what they believed right instead of what they knew was safe.
They are deeply aware that if you dont stand those who exploit will exploit harder, So do not be a coward that drags those who stand down to their knees and for those brave ones who knew to act instead of cower as they knew would be safer, Thank you for attempting make the world a best place even for those less deserving.

Grammar rules on names are confusing.
I'll start this by writing the first definition of Decorum "literary and dramatic propriety" and to continue on this train Propiety is defined as "the quality or state of being proper or suitable", I know its in poor taste to begin a text with definitions but I believe its necesary to have a preagreed definition of specific terms to have any fruitfull endeavour as our definitions might clash and ultimately nip what we are doing in the Bud.
As necesary as decorum might, Decorum itself is a terrible trap we exist in as proper behaviour is a necesity for society to function but it comes preloaded with this issue that is that in order for Decorum to function everyone in that society has to function with the prerequisite level of decorum and thats where decorum becomes a trap and a handcuffs dragging us down avenues we do not wish on anyone, Proper decorum has use wait for our turn and follow proper procedure in order to continue fruitful endeavour, But what if entities around us stop behaving with decorum in mind but only the pretense of it.
Decorum does not have an answer for this as proper decorum would want us to follow the rules and regulations to report and remove bad actors but said actors have already places themselves above decorum so while you wait for your turn to speak they are eroding the platform, while you wait in line to report they cut in line and while you wait for your chance to vote they are bypassing the vote and doing as they will, In said situations decorum is of no help because those who break decorum will always be a step ahead of those who behave with decorum and thats why it has been weaponized by bad actors.
Bad Actors will weaponize decorum and they smarter they are the more subtle it will looks, they will interrupt you, trip you and undermine you but if you are ever to look for revenge they will flaunt the rules of propiety in your face and claim you are breaking decorum and utilize their allies to remove you from the space and you might ask yourself where are your allies, well they are trying to respect decorum and as they see you break it might be best for you to be remove for that time, as you either broke line or turn or order to make whatever claims or actions you did, in such in their cowardice they indirectly assist the bad actors because in order to remove someone breaking decorum the whole of decorum must be broken untill propiety its regained otherwise those acting within decorum will just wait while those breaking it will continui to act without direct repercussions.
The nature of bad actors is ultimately very predictable, They want personal gain wether it be material, social or whatever they percieve as spiritual gain and I wont come and lie to you like the propaganda machine has done for decades gains that come from crushing fellow humans is not natural for us, we will naturally share if given enough resources, we will feel bad if we see someone whose meets are not being met and if we have enough we will help its not only a survival instinct its part of the human condition thats been attacked by people in power trying to excuse their frankly evil actions as if it was normal, Because a duty of bad actors is to pain their actions as just and good which we have seen in recent years both with corporate entities, government entities and even religious entities. They paint their greed, jelousy and hatred as if they where proper as if they where decorum and as such people wishing to still be good actors attempt to absorb such idiotic behaviours.
This brings me to my final point today, Decorum is a trap and regardless of your beliefs spiritual, political or social its irrelevant as decorum will only function as long as the most basic of social contracts is in effect, the moment those are broken Decorum has been broken and you should not hold yourself or anyone else to any rule of propiety, as what is the point of a temple that is not build in the mercy of their own god or gods, what is a government that serves only cabal of elites while it allows you and the rest of the massess to rot and what is the point of employment if you cannot afford housing and groceries. if any pillar of our social contracts are allowed to collapse then we as individuals have no reasons to conduct ourself to the benefit of said group anymore. We have allowed ourselves to be fooled by those who benefit from our comfort and its consequences will continue to harm us for generations to come.
