 I'm not afraid to die, but if I was I'd probably just lie. Fear is the
 mindkiller, and to share it as terror and not caution deals morale a blow.

 if you aren't afraid, then either you aren't in danger or you've misjudged
 your opponent.
 
 if you're constantly afraid, then they cannot yet defeat you.
 
 EDIT: either that, or they need you.

 If you are stressed about the world, it's often because you are afraid of
 losing what you have.
 
 The cure to this feeling is to realize that you never had anything to begin
 with, you only rented it.

 I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people
 who had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that
 are commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people
 who tend to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed
 content-warnings. so putting keywords in there that filter out people who
 don't want to see intense or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more
 easily.

 We've always been that way in their eyes. If they make it legal, nothing will
 change in how people think of you. They might be a bit bolder if there's fewer
 legal protections, but laws have always just been words.
 
 There are more of us than there are of them. If you have community, you'll
 feel safer. I know it's scary but we can get through it together.

 cannabis 500 times, and I've spent that time intentionally unravelling
 internal threads. There is nothing within me that scares me.

 Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
 you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
 may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.

 A good way to get people talking is to meet with a stranger and share your
 feelings.
 
 Or, if you're scared of strangers, then try talking with a friend.
 
 "something something SUPREME COURT something whatever CRIMINALIZED PEOPLE blah
 blah blah I WON'T STAND FOR IT"
 
 that kind of thing. Make sure you look at your friend for the loud bits, and
 maybe look at someone else nearby when it's your friend's turn to speak.

 though, the farther away it is, the more difficult it is to develop sensors

 If thoughts manifest reality, maybe the reason there's two sides pitted
 against one another is so their fears counterbalance one another? Like...
 There's gonna be fear, because we as humans haven't overcome it. We've got a
 long way to go for that... But if we all believed the same thing, we'd
 manifest it and destroy ourselves. So TPTB pit us against one another so we
 fear *each other* instead of something worse.
