    Ok, how about we turn this around since you have very high standards for what you consider an accomplishment. What have you succeeded at?

      I was active in LGBT marriage in the states of MA, NJ and the nation as a whole. Right now we have LGBT+ marriage rights so I would suggest the leaders of these movements were successful.

      I was active in removing CSAM and problematic porn subreddits from reddit. I left reddit because they refused to killa subreddit literally listing CSAM for sale so I don’t see this as being successful.

        Alright, olive branch. I understand that it’s never good to put people on a pedestal, but this is a weird thing to pull from current events. What we have is a person, regardless of “credentials” joining a flotilla with the goal of bringing food through a blockade.

        Fame or motive aside, it’s a good thing to want to help people, full stop. We shouldn’t crab brain things like this and pull people back into the bucket.

        We also shouldn’t idolized them, understood.

        BUT

        You also shouldn’t be so fixated on whether people celebrate this person. Let’s just be happy that there are some folks on the front lines fighting injustice, and mad at people that want to stomp that out. It’s really easy.

        Those that can help should help, and those that can’t, or won’t, should just move out of the way. Doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.
