You're doing everything you can to push well-meaning people away lol

Feels like dealing in absolutes to me.

You're either all in or not in at all.

"If you don't support the troops feel free to stand in front of them."

Can't I just be outspoken in my social circles and attempt to affect change at the lowest levels, thus spreading my message amongst people I can relate to?

Nope. Sign petitions and call politicians or you're just a poser.

Or so this post seems to say.

If this is what it takes to push you away, it was never about being an ally in the first place, but about stroking your own ego.
