It's a hard pill to swallow because you very likely have leftist friends or even family but this quote speaks the truth:
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends"

That is profound truth regardless of who said it.
Looks like a fake MLK quote: https://DuckDuckGo.com/?q=In+the+end%2C+we+will+remember+not+the+words+of+our+enemies%2C+but+the+silence+of+our+friends

The silence is deafening, but complicity from the pod-people might be worse.

Agreed, we need to come up with terms. It's a magical thing to do and broadens the horisont of thought

You're welcome to share extand terms or make new ones in /s/Terminology/.

One rule: Always note when a term is made up or slang.

Hopefully some of these may catch on. We need more ways to describe the complex and ever-changing world around us. Especially when there are misinfo agents intentionally fucking shit up. Literally doesn't even mean literally anymore.

No, I will not contribute or work with someone who calls me ignoramus and a blanket liar.
