Oh yes, I am in my city’s covid-active groups, but even there I feel a bit alienated. I am not so far gone as to think we all need to be ready for the vanguard or whatever but my tolerance for general liberalism in ostensibly activist spaces is very, very small, and this may be the brainworms speaking but I feel there’s only so much you can push back against that tide until the alienation becomes self-reinforcing. They often do real, tangible work for people so I don’t mean to get on their case so much- just thinking about some frustrations out loud.
