Absolutely agree. And yet, complicity and acceptance of uncivilized behaviour is dangerous.

If people normalize to lies, outrageous demands, lawbreaking, threats against allies and their sovereignty, etc ... if these behaviours are accepted as the new normal for a powerful world leader, without any outrage and with no pushback ... we show approval and we invite progressively worse behaviour.

It's all gradual, very incremental treachery. We accept it and encourage more.
