The further a society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those who speak it. So in times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act, and if you hang on to the truth, even against the whole world, you will not go mad.
@kenwhite.bsky.social I'm not missing the point. If you are preaching to only be nice to people who are "right" in your eyes: you are missing the point. Those who voted for Trump are *victims* of the manipulation by those who control the media (Facebook, X). They deserve our kindness too.
Is it okay that when I went in to eat breakfast and the TVs were turned to the inauguration, I seated myself so I could not see any of the TVs and put on my headset so I couldn't hear any of the speech?
Skeets? Only some call them that. Jay, Bluesky CEO hates that term and prefers we call them "posts".
I don't use "skeet" because it already has prior meanings, one of which is "ejaculating". Which might be appropriate for some, but the mental imagery just makes me laugh too much. ;)
I'm of Jewish decent My family members thought exactly the same way when Nazis first came to power. Some members of my family were held in camps, and a few escaped to America. I understand your position but can not embrace all of it Maybe it's generational trauma. Maybe it's historical experience

In which vein I should probably stress that this reply is also in kindness.

A clear mind is a fertile land for focus.
