Mx. Luna Corbden<p>This is why it is so important to get to know about people who aren't like you and aren't in your usual circles. Hate thrives on ignorance. They can't convince you that "those people" are this or that if you know some of "those people." It just won't mesh!</p><p>And if you can't meet people outside your demographic, then follow them on social media, read their books, watch their movies. Even properly-researched or <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OwnVoices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OwnVoices</span></a> fiction is scientifically shown to increase empathy for people not like you. The human mind thrives on narrative. It is where we learn empathy for experiences we haven't had ourselves. </p><p>The antidote to <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a> is knowledge. Fill your head with as many details about this world as you can. Then the lies will stop making sense and you will see through the illusions.
