dear certain person who is not reading this

I would like to invite you to reflect on the many and varied ways in which social justice has been advanced by asking nicely and refraining from calling people on their shit.

"Reflect" = what a mirror does (and what you asked)
"smoke and mirrors" = illusions created through misdirection and visual tricks
"All smoke, no mirrors" = lots of misdirection, but no actual thing to reflect. (Because at no point has along nicely and not calling people on their shit actually advanced the cause of social justice.)

So, short reflection: all smoke, no mirror.
