This can't be emphasized enough. Face the reality we're actually in.
If we don't do something they can easily leverage, they'll make something up, lie and say we did, or weaponize something that has nothing to do with us. That's why the respectability policing—and thinking that if everyone moves and talks just so, they won't be able to escalate—is magical thinking.
