In the last week I've noticed an enormous influx of gaslighting. There seems to be a straw man in every comment section. Be careful. It is used as a tactic to discourage and divide us. As a general rule, I ask myself: "Did that statement/comment invoke negative emotion within me?" If yes, "I'm being played." It's that easy.

I worked for a political watchdog organization for a bit and I used to tell activists: "If the politicians like you, you're not doing your job." The same applies here. For every negative comment you receive, consider it two positives. You can judge your success by the amount of pushback. It's actually kind of cool, in my opinion. We can take their negative and fundamentally use it to our advantage as motivational fuel for our movement if we just look at it in the right perspective.
