So I got this in an email from a Pro2a (non-fascist) retailer. Just something to think about.

“If you're feeling anxious, nervous or scared, it is all intentional.

Everything we see and hear is designed to keep us engaged. If we're angry, we're engaged. This isn’t to downplay the importance of things, but to shift your perspective. It's not an army of idiots against us, regardless of what we're told. The angrier or more fearful we are, the more we look for answers or outcomes. From one bad person to the next, one bad problem to the next, it feels like the bad goes on forever.

And all the while, they use us and pit us against each other. They tell you someone hates you, your life, your choices, and because you've been hurt at some point, that hatred feels real. So, you get angry at the people they say hate you because you have the right to exist.

But as we channel this anger, we harden our hearts, distrust our neighbors, and continue the cycle. Meanwhile, those behind the scenes sit on thrones built by us, funded by our fears and division. They wage wars in countries we’ll never see, against people just like us.

At home, with no one left to blame, we end up exactly where they want us: feeling alone, disconnected, and afraid of what’s next. Then it hits us: we sold our peace for their profit and gained nothing in return.

The truth is, our humanity—the ability to show compassion, understanding, and unity—is the greatest threat to their control. It’s the one thing that can’t be used or twisted unless we allow it. We must hold onto our humanity and never let it go. The power of our unity is beyond measure. Together, we could move mountains and travel the vastness of space, but it starts with rejecting comfortable hatred and standing together.

Please remember to “
