No, you took my meaning. Fighting an infinite stream of discord from maladjusted people and bots online just soaks you in their sickness. It’s more than a waste of time, it’s actively detrimental to your being. Altering your community, on the other hand, is useful and semi-permanent. And spreading the idea amongst people you find palatable creates little pockets of sunshine that we all get to enjoy. Wew!

    Reminds me of Daryl Davis who, as a black man, was able to convince 200 klansmen to leave the kkk by simply befriending them. The cure to all that's evil in the world really is so simple, yet so easy to loose perspective of. The answer to all the world's problems really does just boil down to focusing on building the world we want to see.

    Pretty much. Humanity wasn’t crafted with massive societies in mind. Subdividing into social groups of 100 or less, as our ancestors lived in, makes far more sense and allows one to enact change more easily as a singular entity. Like using a hammer to hammer or a drill to drill, just natural tool use.

    But you should probably discard everything you’ve read, considering I am an internet person and therefore not worth engaging with. The ideology is robust!
