This is the primary reason I no longer have accounts on "social media" (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc.). It's not only exhausting. It's dangerous. It takes one minor misstep in the eyes of another and you're faced with a torrent of misconstrued, misinformed people pushing a narrative that you're a horrible person. Next, you've lost your job, business, or worse. And it's only getting worse now that the idea "silence is complicity" is becoming popular.

Nope, no thanks. I'll see myself out.

I know a lot of people dislike anonymity because trolls and bad actors abuse it. However, it also means voices like mine, who strive to operate in good faith, get lost.

> And make no mistake, silence is complicity.

This is needlessly reductive and unhelpful. One can work to end racism and police brutality without supporting groups like BLM and/or making public declarations about the issues.

So, no. Silence is not complicity.
