I don't disagree. I'm still young in this world, barely understanding that there even is a problem, not ready to start isolating the cause. Herecy isn't a bad thing, either. It's a difference of opinion.

Remember, 200 years ago, you would have been the right minded individual in a crowd of heretics.

200 years ago if he exposed any of his inner self, he would have been tortured and probably put to public death for not being the same as the ruling class wanted to appear. He would therefore have spent his life denying his true self and likely wound up helping to perpetuate the existing social structure, possibly even as an actively brutal individual out of personal pain. Pick your point in history. You can be made out to be anything if you pick the right time and place.
