If Saul Alinsky were alive today, I’d say to him Hey Saul, no matter how much you want it to be true, ridicule is not the greatest weapon.
Sincerity beats ridicule, Saul. Honesty beats ridicule. To put it more plainly—truth beats lies.
I’ll go even farther. I think the best tactics against the Alinsky followers is to beat them with simple truth and sincerity.
Sincerity will always defeat ridicule, because sincerity is truth while ridicule comes from the father of lies.
