... the armchair AND the genuinely active varieties of activists all included, there's a recurring type, who are so blatantly stuck in some hellishly pessimistic 20th century gloom; like they're still stuck in the depressed period of the central character from Groundhog Day.
I tend to think of these types as the Two eMs - Misery and Meglomania; their beliefs are rooted in a VERY old fashioned, paranoid and dark 20th C idea about the sorry state of our common reality, compounded with a convenient habit of screening out all information that might contradict their hackneyed one-dimensional interpretations of the way of the world today
Yes they do have a lot in common with religious types don't they. Especially as they too believe in an ultimatepuppetmaster behind simply EVERYTHING.
And always these activists tend to personally "KNOW THE TRUTH" and tend to preach that most everyone else is stupid and duped and distracted etc :)
Plus of course like all of us these miserable activist individuals are complex and they often have many genuinely good and special qualities too.

BEING JUDGED
.. to the man in the face2face world who yesterday seemed to have arrived at some bizarre negative judgment about me AND who seems to have run away scared ... if you're reading this ... I don't know if you know that I'm currently celibate and that my celibacy isn't something I plan to give up lightly ... plus, I thought all these months we were forming a *friendship* first ... were you only thinking about sex?
... mind you I'm reminded that last year someone who once I thought was a friend, someone I volunteered with locally, went and publicly implied on a local environment forum that perhaps I'm some kind of spook, some kind of undercover agent of the state :)
... and I 'm also reminded of something I experienced repeatedly during my Daily Self Portrait project, that it was often times clear that some individuals looking at my images and seeing something they couldn't easily pigeonhole or label would then opt for assuming something *negative* about my general state of being :) and despite never meeting me face2face etc nor knowing me at all :) And which was all the more odd for them to make such judgments because to me it was always so transparent that my portraits came out of a positive place of strength and curiosity and playfulness and love etc :)
