That second question DuBois raises, what does honesty do in the face of deception? What does it mean to aspire to be an honest person? And by honesty, I'm talking about the willingness to engage in what Jane Austen called constancy, to be morally consistent. So when you do have righteous indignation and holy anger and moral outrage, it has as much to do with the ecological catastrophe, which is as evil as the moral catastrophe of white supremacy or male supremacy or wealth inequality or the economic catastrophe of wealth inequality.
"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy
