"Disrupting the Spectacle
Authoritarianism is theater."
Even though I knew this,
it was striking to read the words.
It brought home the truth and horror of it.
That's why I love
"soft rebellion learns when to look away,
when to starve the beast."
It's vital to put it in its place,
aware of its dangers, while not being consumed by it.
"Turning my gaze toward the work of
healing, building, dreaming,
is nourishing and life enhancing.
"Turning disinformation into openings."
This is the most difficult part of this nightmare.
Witnessing good people brainwashed
with the theatrics of a dangerous fictional narrative;
getting the opportunity to "gently reroute
conversations toward truth, planting quiet
seeds of doubt in a false narrative."
I give a standing ovation to anyone who can pull this off.
My wish is for us to find simple ways to
"give people the tools to unspin their own illusions."
We're in this together and we will prevail.
Namaste'
