Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

FTFY, you overly privileged and status quo worshipping white moderate.
Movements thrive on a diversity of tactics. Let’s keep our eyes on the ball, in many different ways, rather than criticize those who don’t agree with us in the “right way”
No action you take will have immediate effect. Violence is just a balm you use to deal with that. Unfortunately, it has the effect of aligning people against you, which tends to make it take even longer.
But tell yourself whatever you want about how your violence will make effective change. At least you'll feel like you've done something as the world continues to burn around you.
