It kinda hurts my belief in humans when I see radicals choosing to expend significant amounts of energy on tearing down the works of other radicals, on the basis of overall minor issues or outright smear.

People who only know how to dismantle but not how to build are a real obstacle for real change to occur.

This doesn't mean you can't criticise your fellow radicals, but don't go on a f-ing crusade against them, and don't make dismantling your sole activity.

It's way worse when someone chooses to sidestep engaging with the actual people involved over email or social media, but instead propagates grievances or rumours publicly - never having tried to communicate to the individuals about the perceived problem.

only works when people take dialogue seriously, and we have a basic belief that other people actually want to do good, when confronted with adequate information and argument concerning a potential issue.
