1/ False positivism is when you pretend things aren’t really so bad when in fact they are. The most positive thing is always to tell the truth, and sometimes that means shedding light on something that’s negative.

2/ There’s a common Holocaust tale about people who would say to their neighbors, “Have you seen Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz and their children recently? No one seems to know where they are!” And the response would be, “Oh let’s not discuss unpleasant things! Let’s just be positive!”

3/ So the moral of the story is “Let’s be positive.” Every effort to register anyone to vote, to motivate anyone to vote & to counter to nefarious voter suppression efforts now being planned around the country, is the positive action of someone who knows negative when they see it

What we want is to get good at transforming the difficult and painful in to the meaningful and valuable, not pretending it doesn't exist. To have hope in the face of the honest difficulties we face.

We can’t keep using positive platitudes to shield our collective ignorances. So many people were comfortable in the systems before that didn’t work, and would love for nothing but blanket positivity and a return to “life as we knew it”
