Use Humor to Deal With Hate [I Love Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream]

My fellows and fellowettes.....the best way to deal with hate is to laugh at it, to mock it.

Laugh at others, and laugh at yourself.

Ssshhhhhhhh.....keep this a secret between you and me. 🤫

I find that humour fuels the lividity on top of hate. I find that maintaining neutrality diffuses situations like these much better. Failing that, ignoring them.

@SW-User That is good thinking, no doubt. But there is sometimes a good goal to using humor to purposely increasing a person's lividity, such as in order to get a bully off the streets instead of using harsher ways. A judgment call.

@uncleshawn I don't know how that would work in practice. The lividity has to come out somewhere, if not on this street then some other street. Though of course, there is no one right way. We all do what feels right to us in the moment and I've reacted in non neutral ways plenty of times.

@SW-User Good point.
