few fronts, many battles

People tend to think that activism is easy. It ain't, cost lot of energy, money, self-respect and confidence. I always believed in two rules of activism.

1. don't spam

if you haven't contributed to something which somebody did,
don't you dare troll about how it is, don't judge if it was wrong.
You don't have the right

2. creativity

If you don't like something, propose something better, don't argue
how wrong it can be, just propose something better

I was working under these rules for some years now, and it worked for me.
I always believed in what I was doing, and in most of the cases I did
what I was able to. Spend few months alone in Brussels for free, not a problem.

Problem appeared when people tried to control what I'm doing, without almost
any noticeable contribution to it. They said to me, yeah, it was great but still
we cannot work like this. Work like what? To not do almost anything and judge me?
And then, I was still open, transparent with my plans, trying to negotiate what
they will like and what I pursue. What i got in the end? They now propose to me
stuff I told them. My plans with some non profits, with their future.
Now it's out there, and people try to catch while they can, and it seems
without me. I understand that different people have different opinions, but stealing ideas? Isn't that what we were standing for in the beginning? To share?
I thought that was the point, at least for me. It always will. I believe the knowledge I have I must share, that is the purpose of information, to be free.
It is the responsibility to change things to be better, if I know it I must do it. It's driving me further, always

Push it as far as you can.
