I'm of two minds here. I'm happy that Mark is going to be on AEW television, where the Briscoes belonged, and it makes me feel good to know he's out there surrounded by friends when he needs them most, but that this match couldn't happen before Jay died is wrong. It's also wrong that a proper farewell on Dynamite wasn't authorized last week; now it looks as if it took a lot of negative feedback for WBD to change course.
Silencing and ostracising others doesn't foster growth. People change, but only if given an opportunity to have experiences that challenge their worldview. Sometimes change isn't even what's needed; people from different backgrounds often struggle to understand each other and may see their individual opinions as further apart than they are. With everyone trying to shout the loudest in order to 'win' the social battle we're losing the ability to listen and learn. A lot of people no longer know where the line is between truth and conspiracy or ethical and tyrannical.
It used to be that people had to prove themselves in order to be granted a platform from which to speak. Giving everyone a public voice is a noble idea, but in practice, it leads to ... where we are today.
