Activism Cannot Be a Zero-Sum Game

I think a single person cannot devote adequate time and effort to every deserving cause. There are many causes that need attention that I am not giving. What I do find frustrating, especially as someone who sees liberation efforts as deeply intertwined, are people who resent attention given to causes outside their own focus.
No, that liberation effort does not have enough attention either. That liberation effort is also far from over. Do not believe you can forward the liberation of some by trampling over that of others. Those who will expend the effort to help those you will not should be appreciated, not denigrated.
