A couple of counter-intuitive things I’ve been saying for a while that seem to be finally breaking through into the mainstream (judging from my feed today):
1) Blaming Facebook for the ills of democracy is like blaming the frosting on the cake for making you fat
2) Being “triggered” and “cancel culture” is a form of extremism and extremism (not whatever you’re outraged about this week) is the enemy.
Still waiting for...
3) Spontaneous and individual acts of kindness and charity by police officers, celebrities and wealthy people are not to be admired, they are symptoms of a broken government and taxation system that should be scaling collective compassion and kindness to all (not a random, lucky few)
