Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Mirror Club!!
First and foremost, please do comment with all your thoughts! This conversation is one that's ongoing with so many varied opinions and we'd love to hear yours and continue the fight for better humanity by being conscious and intentional about what we put out into the world. Secondly, I had such a great time chatting with Sam about what it's like to have centrist, unpopular or poorly worded opinions online at the moment. We tried to have a nuanced discussion, understanding the importance of expressing dissatisfaction and anger in the face of injustice, but wondering if we've lost sight of end goals, and if not, whether current modes of expression online will lead to progress, or is it possibly just hate all around, masking itself in ideology. Who knows for sure? We'd like to hear your opinions...
