Oh my gosh, no kidding. It's like, here are whole communities of people who spend nearly every waking hour either doing activism or thinking about activism, who are also somehow convinced that the problem is that they themselves aren't committed to the cause - as though the existence of anything bad in the world means that they've personally failed to stop it, which means they personally should beat themselves up about it and resolve to go even harder in the future. I get where it comes from - for years, that was me - but past a certain point it's just no way to live. Anyway, I'm glad it resonated, thanks.
