Klutz Paper -
Flying Dragons Craft Kit
quote [ The recipe is universal. Find a wound common to many, someone to blame for it and a good story to tell. Mix it all together. Tell the wounded you know how they feel. That you found the bad guys. Label them: the minorities, the politicians, the businessmen. Cartoon them. As vermin, evil masterminds, flavourless hipsters, you name it. Then paint yourself as the saviour. Capture their imagination. Forget about policies and plans, just enrapture them with a good story. One that starts in anger and ends in vengeance. A vengeance they can participate in. ]

Who the fuck said anything about appeasement? No one is suggesting backing down on our views, they saying we can't let them run the narrative they are, how they are. We only do that by being humans and not caricatures.
We've seen this happen many, many times. Everytime, this much is at the heart of it. 1 group has one identity, the opposition has many. If group one plays identity politics, they win because they can afford to play such a game.
We stick to our guns, but we bring a human face to the fight... or we lose it.
