An email I just sent to the organisers of an international conference I’m speaking at this year. Social stigmatisation is a powerful tool against the far right. Use it any chance you get. Let others know it’s not all right and you won’t be part of normalising it.
@aral Will I appreciate your position, I think you'd have been more powerful with a less direct invective. "I do not want to be associated with that platform or its current owner" plays more to high ground. Everyone knows the reason but his loyal fans can't attack it as easily.
@obscurestar Oh, I say what I mean and see how people react. That tells me a lot about who they are. And that insight’s priceless. Especially with folks I’m going to associate with.
@aral That's fair. Like I said. I agree with you. Just been my experience that defenders will seek out and fixate on that kind of language to then try to make it sound like you're the baddie. I try to make them work for it.
