CIJS: Of course there will be ones that have been cultivated or purchased, but some will be genuine. The problem is when the genuine ones grow to a certain size. They start to face very difficult decisions.
It is inevitable that they will be noticed, and will start to receive instructions. What then? Compromise for the common good, or continue to grow on their own? Being so bold would certainly be noble, and easy to cheer on from the armchair, but realistically they will be targeted by regressive action of some kind. So as always, it’s about the lesser of two evils. The cruelest thing about being pragmatic is having to pretend, because to do otherwise will just draw more attention. I do understand this.
