If you’re an able bodied, ‘normal’ functioning adult who has the freedom to look after themselves and their capable family then yes I’m sure it’s ok to be magnanimous about things. If you aren’t in that fortunate position acceptance is replaced by anxiety, stress and a sense of being at the whim of other peoples decisions.
Buddhism talks a bit about acceptance. It means seeing things as they are. It doesn't mean that you approve of things as they are. Momentum really need to do the former.
Also, a load of what has been called Momentum activists were kettled last night on their way to Jacob Rees-Mogg's house.
Do you think that is acceptable, going to target a politician at home with his family? Because I think it is sickening. And, yeah, I would say the same if my side did it to a Labour MP. It is reprehensible.
