Thanks, Jaye. I want to answer carefully so I don't appear to be giving myself too much credit! Basically, I allowed my authentic, lifelong desire to help make the world a better place to be highjacked by the seductive sham of "activism." Like millions of others, I embraced exhibitionist virtue signaling but I thank God that I was eventually able to see my mistake. As a result, I no longer perceive "activism" as most of the world does.
I find that sometimes abandoned activities can leave a bit of a wound that makes one more sensitive to future accidental exposures.
I was like that with new-agey stuff for a long time. My thinking on that is still evolving, but I was extremely sensitive, and even repulsed, for a long time.
It's not quite like that now, but it's taken a while
Because of your prior associations, do you find that you "see" some things more easily than others?
I would suspect that you might be more tuned in to movement or language or ?? than others with less previous exposure.

It's easy to do.

Thanks again, Jaye.
To be radically honest, I pray that I remain repulsed by "activism" and other forms of hypocrisy!
Fair enough
