If you're talking about actually being involved in the community, I'm all for that, although it's hard in the age of social media even before covid.

My ire is for the tech 'activists' who spend their time deciding which innocent turns of phrase should be banned or which marvel movies needed more representation.

Yea I can't even force myself to care about the git branch name issue or which propaganda film needs different coats of paint.

I've been slacking recently because of my fear of COVID-19, but previously I'd been doing community and workplace organizing. The real world is the only place that will actually improve things. The pandemic is a real bummer.

Even without covid it's hard. We're in an atomized society where everyone's earning to their ability and then consuming services/goods from global corps, it's hard to build community. I don't have an answer here.. maybe we need religion again minus the homophobia.
