Oh, I'm aware. There is drama to be had if that's what you want.

The nice thing about movements is you get to pick who you work with. You get small groups that do 99% of the meaningful work and a large "groups" that are just involved to make noise, feel like they did something, and accomplish ... absolutely nothing. The worst are the kind that want to raise "awareness" for something that everyone is already aware of, followed by the people that are just pissed off and can't be bothered to do anything productive with that anger.

Stick with the former: they're cool and they get shit done.
