Gregory's ServerHaha for sure! When I was doing high school arts advocacy I had this staff of just post-college age activists working with me, and we'd often argue about stuff like this.
My position was that sometimes the right thing to do isn't the strategic or effective thing to do, and that where the left often falls apart is that they do the right thing rather than the effective thing. I also had a soft spot for slacktivists, which irked them to no end lol.

I think managing those "purists" is part of being an effective and strategic change agent. I've found that if you build a mutual and trusting relationship with them you can temper that energy and bring it to bear.
I mean, this is the internet so whatever. Half of them are probably just trying to have a fight with you so they can let off steam.
I just wanted to inject hypervigilance because the ideas we get on here can bleed into everyday life, and I hadn't seen anyone else do it.
