We need to reclaim the power of short 'n sweet.

"No."

The minute you try to bring in facts and data in general discourse with the public at this moment in time, you/we lose.

It's all about holding on to power now; to ensuring none of the malfeasance is punished. Eveyone in power is tainted and every institution formerly known as "expert" is utterly corrupted. It will take two generations to clean out these stables.

We need to be implacable--so far as is humanly possible. Everyone knows someone for whom they will compromise a little on principles and that keeps the world functioning.

But use "no" as often as you can.
