Sometimes, but not always. Many people were radicalized by Gaza, others were radicalized by Trump threatening to invade Greenland, others still by local stories and events. I know from my colleagues in the US that ICE in MN radicalized many people, too. Most of our new members actually weren't personally affected, unless you count seeing TikToks of atrocities as being affected.

Look, I understand where you're coming from, I've been in this fight since I was 17, and I know how it has felt like swimming against the tide for a long time, but I am categorically telling you that things are actually finally changing. You can be a part of it, or not, but please can you just stop trying to discourage others from doing something to help?

    I present you with my actual lived experiences and you are just like "Actually, no, despite the fact I am not involved in activist efforts, somehow I know all about them, and I am gonna tell you how to run a movement I want no part of". Brother, do you work for the CIA, or what?

    You have openly stated that you aren't engaged in activist activities, whereas I am. I actually have real, recent experiences, you do not. This isn't people with two experiences disagreeing, this is just you refusing to accept that your "vibes" are off, because you are emotionally invested in being right.

    I'm done with you for now, nobody else is reading this shit. See you next time. Hope you get paid well for doing this.
