The opposite of love isn't hatred, it's indifference.

Similarly, if you're doing things just because you think that's what politicians don't want, you're still controlled by them, whether that's eating steak, or using plastic straws, or not wearing... https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5d73c962e4b0fde50c2740cd?utm_campaign=hp_fb_pages&utm_source=main_fb&ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063&utm_medium=facebook&section=politics&guccounter=1
