Sometimes I think the only question that matters is how does any adult convince themselves that it is ok to be a(n) racist, sexist, agist, homophobe, abuser, liar, hater, elitist, rapist, etc?

We currently have an epidemic of these afflictions so it merits some thought...

The truth is everytime someone displays the hate, they are showing you how wounded they are. It does not excuse their choices to act out the hate.

But realizing they are wounded can help to prevent you from taking on their anger and hate.

2/
To create a fertile ground for hate one simply has to make resources scarce and convince one group that another group has taken what should be theirs.

To make resources scarce just funnel a higher percentage of total wealth to the top and let the bottom 90% fight it out

Best European formula to isolate Turkish democrats and progressives πŸ‘πŸ»
The formal suspension of the accession talks with Turkey has nothing to do with Erdogan and his authoritarianism but with the upcoming European elections and populism on rise in Europe.
I would rather suggest EU politicians to take bolder steps to make Europe visible in TR, put more pressure on their governments & E. Commission to treat all accession countries equally and better engage with Turkish democrats.

As long as these issues and their implications are not understood well by the other front, the Christian Democrats and Eurosceptics will gain grounds and always have a stronger hand in shaping European policies.

I've been part of the Twitter resistance for a year now. I'm going to share some thoughts about why & how I resist.

Some people may not like some things I say here. I’m sorry for that, but they need to be said. 1 #WhyIResist #HowIResist #RebelScum #TheResistance
Some things in the first year were fun: meeting like-minded people, the #scifi characters, learning how to take effective action. Celebrating #victories like beating the #ACA repeal bills.

A lot of it wasn't fun - the threats of nuclear war, the daily stress of bad news. 2
Follow parties were fun, and a good way to promote a message and raise awareness, connect with other resistors and grow our followings. They had themes and served a purpose and there was about about one a month. Β 3 #PartyWithAPurpose #trending #amplify #effective
