There’s been multiple threads on HN front page that have been about this for the last week as well as protests in certain US cities like LA and SF.

I think the problem might be that taking personal responsibility for one's own morality and beliefs is a burden that's too much, too scary, for many people.

It feels a lot safer and more comfortable to simply look around you and draw your morals from what everyone else is saying and doing.

There's something isolating about trying to be good.
