1/ I’m trending tonight because people are mocking a clip of my conversation with Jim Cameron where I told him about a conversation I had with some peace activists in the Middle East. There’s a line in Avatar about how the Mother does not take sides, just wants to restore balance

2/ I told Jim it was a very powerful moment & people in the room were nodding their heads. I told him that some of them told me they had seen Avatar. So the pseudo-intellectuals are having a hoot about that tonight, that I’m so naïve see, so ridiculous, so wacky & unsophisticated

3/ It’s much like when I said the PM of New Zealand would be my first call as president. “Oh she’s so stupid.” Like when I said we should pay reparations, or see our healthcare system as a sickness care system, or realize the scourge of environmental injustice. Such a silly girl!

4/ Well I have this to say about the Middle East. Our political establishment has not solved the problem, and it will not be solved on the level of the green line or traditional diplomacy or military action. It will only be solved on the level of the heart.

5/ There are people there who know this, who live ever day w/ pain & fear beyond what any of us can imagine. Sincere Muslims, Christians & Jews who do not laugh at the thought that they need a miracle. I do not apologize for telling that story. It’s not ridiculous; it’s important

If you are talking about “restoring balance” between Israel and Palestinians, there is nothing to restore

Anyone mocking you is having an attack of their own shame issues. They think their own ideas are "wacky" & desperately want to hide. The easiest thing to do is look at someone else considered "wacky" & point a finger, thinking it deflects. Except 3 fingers are pointing back.

The haters are jealous because you aren't afraid of admitting that you have feelings, changing your mind when you get new information, or expressing your honest opinions. Three things haters struggle with.

People who used to recoil at the idea of a universal healthcare system or doubling the minimum wage had to hear about it over and over again to get deprogrammed. Your message is simple and true. It threatens powerful sociopaths who need to control the narrative. Hence: pushback.

It was a good conversation. I liked how you set him straight on Jeff Bezos!

This is why I donated to you. Bernie and Yang were ahead of you, but I never donated to Yang. Gave Bernie a few hundred, and you about 50. Only 3 I trusted in the 2020 primaries.
