How to be a Peace Troll
“Peace Trolls respond to violent language with genuine connection. The vision of the Peace Troll Movement is simple: social media platforms will become interconnected webs of good-natured connection, stretching between every home across the globe. Threads where verbal aggression lurks will be ‘infected’ with nonviolence, not by agreeing with the other person or keeping silent, instead by choosing to honour the common humanity of each person they respond to whatever their belief. A reminder that collaboration is a practical principle to live by.
…Social media platforms have the potential to be an extraordinary global conduit for nonviolence. You aren’t powerless. You can work directly for World Peace. All it takes is ten minutes a day.”
