I’m really looking for what may have been the driving motivation and reward. The focus is on your personal drive for the interest and what you gained from it.

We can’t have meaningful conversations if people are scared to be honest, so please be authentic, forthcoming, and respectful. Conversely, please respond to others with compassion so that users feel safe enough to be vulnerable.

    Can you elaborate on this pls?

    Haitain history radicalized me.

    Haitian history is so interesting. They have been punished for being the first successful slave revolt. Have you seen the movie Burn!? If not, I highly recommend it. It can be an upsetting movie, I think it’s essential for anyone that wants to understand the transition from slave to capitalist economies and how racism is ingrained in all of it.

    I’m an Anarcho Syndicalist that is deep into mutual aid networks and community outreach in my neighborhood. Community organization is so important and rewarding in my life now.

    Nice! 🏴🚩 I’ve been meaning to get back into volunteering locally. I appreciate the encouragement your comment gave me. If you don’t mind sharing, what communities are you working in and how did you get active in them?
