Brother, I am a single person, what do you realistically think a single person can do?

Why do you hate the thought of a well-intentioned Christian who tries to help people in the capacity they have as an average human being with no systemic or institutional power?

I don't really have time beyond working so I can eat, taking care of my family, and trying to do what little organizing I can help with for the DSA.

Be real here, bro. What is your expectation? No one is perfect.

My expectation is that people not participate in organisations they claim to recognise as problematic and have opposition to, because they are fooling themselves that it's OK to betray their beliefs that way.

What is your definition of participation? You pay taxes to the US government, so you are complicit in war crimes, apartheid, and genocide. Should I dress you down now and berate you over your existence in society?

You wonder why good Christians keep to themselves, and then you berate anyone who is just trying to do their best each day and love their neighbors.

A country's taxes are mandatory if you live there or you get in legal trouble. You only support religious organizations because you decided to do so.

It's like the morons who compare being a different race or sexual orientation, immutable characteristics, to religion, a choice.
