Question about being radical

[Stephen Colbert]

Do you get a particular satisfaction knowing that you are a voice for the disenfranchised and the working proletariat? Do you feel like you should be held in high esteem for your intellect? :rolleyes:

I kinda do. I love being the kid who reads all the radical literature and explains things in a very nuanced and revolutionary way. :cool:

[Widerstand]

So basically, you're saying you enjoy the rebel chic?

[Quail]

I do enjoy activism, but I mostly do it because I think that it's important that people fight for better living standards, and I want to educate people about my ideas. Is this some kind of troll post?

[Uppercut]

I don't particularly overflow with self-satisfaction when explaining radical literature. But it does feel good to be on the side of the workers. At least I feel like I have a purpose and a goal, instead of just wandering around with a blank mindset.

Oh yeah.
And I'd add, it feels good to be on my own side as well :D
Basically, I view radical politics and activism as a means of achieving (or trying to achieve) personal freedom as well.

Sastisfying? It frustrates the hell out of me. While being 'the voice of the proletariat' I shouldn't in the extreme minority, and I shouldn't have to explain away the same misconceptions for the millionth time only to no doubt be dismissed as brainwashed. No satisfaction comes from that.

Do you get a particular satisfaction knowing that you are a voice for the disenfranchised and the working proletariat?

No. Because I am not.

yes, I love it.
I love being uncommon, a sign of the future and the shape of things to come.

so I like being in the rebel chic...it's very satisfying.

I love being Radical, at one point i was a shame of it, but man, I am lovin it. RADICAL PEOPLE GET SHIT DONE, example the Russian revolution. I am the most Leftist fuck in my house.

Not really. I don't even view myself like that exactly...

On the last part, No...although I would like to be held in high esteem just because.

I don't have much of this...fervor I guess it's called.
