This is how satyagraha activism is supposed to go: they've made the bad guys incriminate themselves and put themselves in a bad position legally and in public perception.

Certain topics (mostly household things), I'll think in Irish.

Or sports.... it's easier for me to think "tá an cailis déanta aige" than "he fouled the player" because my sporting life has generally been through Irish.
