Decide now what would it take for you to say this movement isn’t what I thought it was, this isn’t what I thought I was supporting.
Or even: This one thing has gone too far and harming the cause itself or the people it purports to serve, or undermining something else I care about -- like women's rights, freedom of speech, the possibility of solidarity across difference. https://twitter.com/elizamondegreen/status/1288654055720521729
Clarify your values. Check and double-check that what you advocate for lives up to those values. Think about what kind of world you want to live in. How do people treat one another? What future do we want the next generation to inherit?
