Do not be distracted by fancy flourishes, and do not strike at shadows. Instead, strike at your enemy's base.
What is the enemy's base?
To thwart fear, teach courage.
To thwart divisiveness, teach teamwork, cooperation, acceptance, cultural awareness, and heritage languages.
To thwart cruelty, teach compassion.
To thwart rage, team serenity and problem-solving.
To thwart ignorance, teach knowledge, wisdom, rational thought processes, facts and their verification.
To thwart violence, teach peacemaking and nonviolent conflict resolution.
To thwart greed, teach generosity, charity, and the gift economy.
Treat every society action that outrages you as motivation to go do something against them. Don't stand in the street waving a sign, nobody in power cares. Hit them where they live: their profits and their power base.
You will note that these concepts directly undermine the foundations of modern America. Teaching them could get you killed. Some of these things have gotten a lot of people killed.
