This article definitely resonated with me today. I’ve been what we describe as terminally online, but I do think my condition was due to alienation more so than a need for validation.
The most important bit was definitely your advice
This isn’t about whether “you” or “they” are correct or not. At all. We are all advocates for change, not the sole progenitors of it. I am not a communist nor Marxist-Leninist. I “advocate” Marxism-Leninism as a means to communism, because it’s not about me. My ideologically counterpart is not a Democratic Socialist, an Anarchist, Trotskyist, or Maoist. They “advocate” these things. When criticizing tendencies you don’t like, remind yourself that it really is about the position and not the person holding it.
I feel like this something many eyes need to read until they get the message and start the praxis.
