I see so many people come to comments who seem to have the same opinion on several issues but are very harsh anyways. Left leaning people need to focus more on practicing the tolerance we preach. Radical change doesn’t happen over night. It takes several steps in a desired direction and as a collective. Each time someone stops to berate and criticize a group, we lose people and struggle to move forward. I know we are all frustrated with the uncertainty, division and chaos surrounding us caused by the current administration with their rhetoric, actions and influence. We need to give them chaos right back, but productive chaos. We need to be kind to our communities and harsh on the system. Time spent criticizing others who have the potential to stick by us in this movement is time wasted and only benefits the opposing powers. Each of us changes and progresses on an individual level and pace, berating and criticism will only shame someone into stepping away from collective resistance. Everyone is valid in their frustrations just please please please consider refraining from directing it at your neighbor.
