      Hot take and so easy to type out with nothing at stake for you, but I’ll reply anyway.

      With stakes like these, being stupid and trying to do something you know you’ll fail at helps nobody, and actually hurts whatever cause you would have eventually joined. When the things I am good at are needed to topple a tyrant, I’ll answer the call. I can’t help if I’m dead or locked up. I’m not a person that can get a movement off the ground and inspire enough people to join and act in a coordinated fashion that it actually succeeds. Very, very few people are capable of that. That’s why we are where we are right now.
