Michael Downey 🧢

🤔 Throughout our lives we will all be faced with difficult decisions to make about complex problems.

The best advice?

Read.

Read all we can, study everything there is to know about the situation. Learn all we can. Listen to other opinions.

When we've done all that, we've done all the hard work.

The last part is easy.

Do the right thing.

What do the pro-Nazi and the apologists' defensive posts have in common?

People get real wordy and stumble over themselves when they know deep down inside that their actions are betraying core human values.

Moral decisions are easy and don't require a wall of text to defend.

@downey Whether it's a hand-wavy "think piece" or an insult that would fit well in a Tweet, they also just love to show their misogyny and ableism, by calling people who are (rightfully) wary of Facebook "hysterical" and "insane". Which I guess shouldn't come as a surprise, considering whose side they're on.
