Somehow it's never enough. I try to make the change in the areas I care about, but it doesn't do anything. And everyone else hates that I am not doing their thing instead of mine. Or that I don't do enough. Or that I do things but not in the right way. I don't think purely enough and I don't say the right things to be the good person. I don't agree with every last one of the commonly held beliefs. And I sometimes speak out against the crowd when I think they're in the wrong. And if I have feelings about how people treat me, then I'm making things about myself, which distracts from "the cause," even if those feelings are totally justified. I do not consider myself a leftist, because I've been manipulated and abused by leftists, even with good intentions. I don't know what I am, but I defy all your labels.
