I really don't see what the "enlightenment" in this comic is supposed to be, because it's false. And Dale annoys me in it. And he's being an asshole.
Person A suffers from discrimination,
Person B is complicit and part of the oppressor class,
Person C excuses Person B maintaining the oppressive status quo by blaming Person A for their own oppression.
She's different because she's part of the targeted fucking marginalized group, is why. "Keeping your head down" is not an equivalent moral position for the one trying to cope with discrimination and the one perpetuating it.
