Something difficult that I think will be increasingly important is being brutally honest about things that are bad and why they are/got that way, while also determinedly uplifting things that are good to both celebrate them and use them as examples and ways to get better - ThreadSky

It’s called realism and it’s not always great but it easier to navigate!

Absolutely, balance is key. Critique what’s broken, but don’t forget to spotlight and learn from what’s working.

Or, ........you pull the plug and watch from afar.

That's the kind of attitude I love to see, let's me know some people out there care to hear out those of us who were once lost!

I think it’s especially hard because so much of the utter brutality is a backlash against things that have been good or better

Half our population can't recognize the truth. How do we come back from that?

That's the challenge for sure, it's really hard to be gentle with each other when we're angry and scared, but it's really important.

🎯 We no longer have the luxury of comforting “that isn’t us” rhetoric whenever our worst impulses & behavior are on display. That most emphatically IS us, for far too many, & failure to reckon with that basic fact is one of the mistakes that landed us where we are now.

A lot of people have trouble with brutal honesty

Literally doing a podcast about how we got here, and I always say "how we can fix it," in the intro, but those parts feel so much harder to write after talking about shit like GamerGate (esp old posts from that movement) for an hour and reading about it for 6-12 hours prior.
