In real life, what scares me is politicians, corporations and people that think they know what the world should be.

Effort Fighting Thinking
When somebody says something I don’t agree with, I say I’d rather not. It comes to the point where that is the strongest form of resistance. As a Mexican, it took me a long while to learn one word in English, “no”. And that is the one word we have in common.
