Don't Think of an Elephant
Never use the language of the other side, even to negate it, even to argue against it. Never use their language. Why? Because their language activates their ideas and you help strengthen the ideas of your opponents.
Develop our own positive rhetoric based on our values.

“Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020, and since then he hasn’t shown up for a debate. Now he is acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal. I’ll even do it twice... I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”🔥

“regulated”. There were self-appointed police. And it was very apparent what the deal was. This place was the playground of some very weak minds that thought they were big deals. I didn’t like the way I was treated, and just like in real life, I wasn’t going to let a white man tell me how to think

There seems to be a common opinion among a number of young activists that it was riots and violence that brought about social progress, rather than non-violence. To me today, this betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of both history and human nature, but I believed the same things in my youth.

It was protest votes that got us here, let us be wise this election cycle and vote Biden and democrats up and down the ballot to get us out. A vote for anyone other than Biden gets us Trump and loss of our rights. #voteblue2024 #votebidenharris2024 #stopmagaextremism

Good morning everyone! I am happy to see people are testing Accuracy Alerts, and some of you were able to identify a few bugs. Accuracy Alerts is still in beta, and we will improve it over time.

Thank you. I was trying to provide accurate information. Moving to another country is challenging, but it isn't impossible to have a good life. Recognizing oneself as the one who must adapt is the important lesson.

Abusive people don't abuse everyone. Their victims aren't always abused in the same manner either.
So just because you say someone was "always nice" to you doesn't mean they didn't seek ways to exert power and control over others.
