Truth is all around, so finding truth gets easy quickly if you practice. "I don't support dictators." "That was a Nazi salute." "That isn't true." "People are terrified with good reason by what you support." "All people are our human family." "Immigrants are people." "Trans people are people." "Women's bodies belong to them." "Education on all subjects is an investment in human growth."

   2/ "Convincing everyone isn't the goal; noticing direction is, & noticing who aligns with & against simple declarations of truth & decency. Practiced indifference delivers the message that truth & decency are things that will be pursued without first receiving permission from liars.

   Try this one:

   "That is fucked up. I'm not doing it, & you should be ashamed for asking."

   Celebrate aggressively. Getting clear on what is good & bad doesn't just free you to oppose what is bad; it allows you to celebrate what is good. Fascists simply cannot celebrate the joys & the beauty of our diverse human experience, because they abhor it & seek to destroy it.

   The more you celebrate all that is good in humanity, the more people opposed to all that is good in humanity will show themselves for what they are. Aggressive celebration is art, is music, is food, is a party, & is also quiet, contemplation, time spent alone recharging your batteries."
