Let's Talk. Come talk to me. I've been saying this for the past three years. If you have different hatreds, or if you think I'm a hateful person, or if you think this whole category of other people is hateful: come talk to me. I have a sound studio, Paloma Media. Come, let's talk, let's actually expand the dialogue. Let's learn from each other, because I really want to know.
I have to tell you, I've been in crowds of people when I had a young couple come up to me, very, very young in black bloc. They were maybe 20. And they shouted in my face because they saw I was filming something: "Photography equals death!" And I was like, "Oh, hi, can you kind of tell me what you mean by this?" And they kind of went like ... and then got subsumed by the crowd. Because they did not have the language to even tell me why they were telling me that.
So let's have a conversation. Tell me why you think the way you do, and I can talk to you a little bit. Maybe I'll make some cookies, we can talk. Let's expand the dialogue as opposed to saying bad people over here—we're the good people over here—goodbye. I think it's unhelpful.
