摆脱自♥由♥派的蜂巢思维 来到这里...
from the... liberal hive mind and... come here and...
从那之后他的书 销量和人气排名就缓慢下滑

不可否认 他确实有股诱人的魅力
And the seductive power of his charisma was undeniable.
但他的方法...
But his method...
他每周都会挑出一个人
Every week, he would pick someone out,
通常是新人 然后发动攻击

真正的教会并非如此
This is not the true church.
就算去问台下最死忠的教♥徒♥
You ask even the most hardcore of those in the pews,
他们也会矢口否认这是他们的信仰
they'll say, no, of course this is not what they believe.
这是维克斯在做自己 讲到过火
It's Wicks being Wicks, pushing it too far.
他每次的目标 就是看到人离开
And what he's pushing for every time is a walkout.
他为何这么做
Why does he do this?
因为当那个人走出大门 每个人都看在眼里
Because when that person walks out, everyone watches.
即使在光天化日之下 也无人能辩解
And even if in the light of day it's indefensible,
在他们内心深处 这刚好搔到痒处
deep down in the dark, it scratches an itch.
借由继续坐在台下 他们选择了自己的立场
And by staying put in that pew, a side is taken.
与维克斯为伍
