I came across this piece on The Good Men Project, written by someone I respect and take seriously. I didn’t read it because I was looking for a fight. I read it because it was thoughtful, personal, and clearly written in good faith. That matters, and it’s why this response is measured rather than dismissive.

There’s a certain character who likes to call himself an activist. You know the type. Doesn’t want to work. Doesn’t want responsibility. Doesn’t want to wash. Doesn’t want accountability. So he buys an army jacket, grows his hair long, lives in a tent “off the grid”, fancies himself a “nomad” and a “revolutionary” and adopts a posture instead of a purpose.
