I am only joining a mass movement if I get to become the sole focus and charismatic speaker, and die a martyr so I can play out my suicidal ideations in a "healthy" way.
Like a lot of things, a little bit is healthy, but a lot is terminal. It's great that people are skeptical enough of DSA leaders to identify and root out sexual misconduct. It becomes a liability, though, when people lose sight of the fact that sexual misconduct is basically guaranteed in certain types and sizes of organizations, and that the DSA seems to handle it much better than comparable organizations. Compare this to Democrats' handling of Tara Reade, for instance.

Going to build a mass movement of the proletariat just as soon as I can find other proles I'm not instinctually terrified by or disgusted with, brb.
