    I’m sorry you feel that way, and your feelings are totally valid. I promise I’m being completely authentic, I care deeply about trying to reduce suffering among as many living beings as possible, but I recognize that progress is impossible without some level of discomfort.

    All the best!

      Risk: alienation of allies who need a break

      Eventual potential outcome: creation of new space with strong prohibition on political content

      anecdote etc

      Last year I saw a tenacious activist get booted from a large group chat for discussing humanitarian crises. It is more than likely that the vast majority of the people in the group shared the opinion of the activist. It came to mind, though a person who Worked at an NGO all day and all week, and wanted to come to the group chat on the weekend to Find out about live music, and they were forced to relive the horrors of their work week. Limiting their ability to recharge. Impacting Their work performance. Impacting lives of those it’s their job to help.

      There’s also a world where no one ever wants to talk about anything difficult ever, I know.

      I want to be aware of Of every individual walking the planet And be considerate Wherever the heart demands, and there are very strong Factors Which make it easy to pose a cost-benefit analysis To undermine my point. So I write without prescription here, food for thought
