This is true for change in general.

To that end, the obvious answer to the person in that opening ceremony is "if people had further picture of the impact" [1].

Justice is in the eye of the beholder. The way they can make people sympathize with their intents of sabotage is by providing a justification, and enabling people to provide themselves one of their own. Otherwise, people will work with what they have, and what they have is mostly just their moral standards.

Evidently, the thread starter's moral standards do not condone this. Mine don't either. The way one can change this is by providing more information that would enable us to change our minds. This isn't really what's happening so far (although neither sides are communicating in a way that would make an open ended discussion of this super viable).

[1] and have that picture be such that it supports their conclusion. Note how this doesn't mean that picture must be:

- truthful

- balanced

- reasonable

And provided all parties are aware of this, they'll be more critical and suspecting of the other. For good reasons, I'd say.
