Max, you should probably stop giving a fuck about those that take stabs at you online. The digital reality is full of egotistical people looking to chop each other down, especially when monetization is involved. Heck, maybe those people are government agents, we don't know.
But your advice to the new activists definitely felt like it was being spoken to me -- we're starting a new radio show and I'm thinking that my co-host and I will either hire someone to forward us the legitimate comments/emails or ignore them altogether. It seems to be weighing down on you to try and lift up groups of people that may not be ready to be saved yet.
congrats on your upcoming radio project @atherz... how do I apply for the position if I my ask? I can be reached via my website email.
