What we call activism (the public, attention-getting sort, not the "in the trenches" miserable work) is the retailing of a different kind of Osteenian optimism, for a dif demographic. Optimism of this sort encourages you to trust others...the best attitude for stealing from you
Of course I want you to think that giving to my cause is worthy, or volunteering for me is superior to accepting money. That's the optimistic headspace I want you in, as a follower. Because, at the end of the day, it's always you or me, and I want it to be me, and now you do too
But there are real perks that come along with jumping on the platform as a follower - the dopamine rush of being a smug asshole, moral superiority in a few simple sentences, etc. That seems to be the driver for a lot of folks.
i think you're right on the money. i think that's the payoff, especially if you're bored, sufficiently well off or from a rich family but downwardly mobile, and want the thrill of "doing the work" and condescending to other who don't "do the work"
