You will never advocate politely enough about social justice to please someone whose lifestyle depends on social injustice.

Sometimes when I am discussing social justice with someone I love I can see that they realize they (we) simply have a ton of work ahead of us.

It's nice when it happens.

@aral Yup! Similarly, the only acceptable protest for them is one so distant and quiet they can ignore it entirely.

@aral Reminds me of:

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” – Upton Sinclair

@aral I scrolled past this post this morning not realising how salient it would become for me over the next 24 hrs.

@seijimutu Hope you’re ok. Sending lots of love.
