My thoughts for tomorrow: Speak only if it improves upon the silence.
Tomorrow is not the day for identifying hatemongers. In outraging over “look X is saying Y,” you will only give further publicity to their hateful views. Instead, tweet happy things. And pray there’s no violence. Don’t add to the noise.
If you can, help change the conversation. Let’s toot and tweet and Facebook all day about the state of the economy.
If you see any incitement to violence, any trouble in your area, any hate speech you think needs to be addressed, call the cops. Record it for evidence. But don’t tweet it. Don’t spread it on WhatsApp or Facebook or Instagram or SMS or by word of mouth.
If you think any piece of information is unverified, don’t pass it on to others, not even in private. Don’t become a vehicle of rumourmongering. You are smarter than that.
