• Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: This is my 7-points communications plan for all mankind. We should stick to some basic rules when we voice our opinions.
• Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 1. Never dehumanize anyone. Don’t call your enemies rats, parasites or vermin. That makes real life violence easier.
• Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 2. Don’t help spreading conspiracy theories. They are almost never accurate, and they feed hate and legitimize real violence.
• Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 3. Apologize when you unintentionally hurt someone. Before posting, put yourself in the position of anyone you plan to taunt.
• Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 4. Always protest against racists or hate speech, alert others and help take action. We can outnumber them, if we speak up.
• Sun, 09:01: RT @sweden: 5. Don’t argue with what you think is peoples “secret agenda”, rather what they actually say. That’s probably what they mean.
• Sun, 09:02: RT @sweden: 6. Don’t argue by accusing people of serious crimes, like treason or terrorism. They are probably just wrong, not criminal.
• Sun, 09:02: RT @sweden: 7. Spread love whenever you have the opportunity. #worldcomplan
