They’re already dead. This is a ghoul stumbling around sucking our brains. Don’t mistake this for strength. Do fight with all we’ve got- but they are hollow. They have no core principles, or blood in their veins. They have no positive vision or societally beneficial purpose other than “strength” and bravura- with nothing inside. It’s “order” for the sake of denialism about the reality of the climate changing, multicultural world that they are afraid in and don’t know how to navigate.

We have the answers and the skills… we just need it make it sexy. Do the work to reach and motivate people and that cannot be entirely about grinding it out- it also has to be about inspiring people at a gut level. And of course we slap them back hard at every opportunity when they break the law!!!!
