"Your practiced indifference to convincing your opponents, meanwhile, will deliver the message that truth and decency are things that will be pursued without first receiving permission from indecent liars."
I love the actionable advice in this latest essay! https://www.the-reframe.com/the-bishop-and-the-billionaire/

My takeaway from this excellent essay feels a lot more actionable than just 'resist'. Speak truth. Be decent. Celebrate even the smallest wins for what is good in humanity. Never take the side of the powerful against the powerless. Send all your help downward. Convert privilege into opportunity for those who need it. Be moved into action by those who are giving more than you are. (The muscle behind those messages is the antifascism/antibillionairism of the full essay.)
