It's lonely to be really radical. Nobody wants to be uncomfortable and think about uncomfortable things all the time. Or to be lectured or asked to read. Have you ever asked someone to read a book - or even an article? It's like you're Rumpel-flipping-stiltskin! I didn't ask for your first born mate, I just wanted to discuss this article from The New Yorker, sheesh!
I guess what I'm saying is that the last few years have been incredibly isolating. I've lost a lot of friends due to various reasons. But interestingly, in a separate unrelated process I've become increasingly radicalized. It's the oddest thing to be at the apex of loneliness yet feel the most like changing every systemic structure oppressing humanity. I'm not at all sure how to deal with that situation.
Anyway, another brilliant piece as always! Thank you!
