Look, I’m not pressuring you to do something you don’t want to do. All I’m saying is, the only way this works is if we all want it to. We all need to do our part.

Look at the prohibition of alcohol. It never would have been repealed if people didn’t fight back against it and drink illegally. Look at the prohibition of marijuana.

The same thing goes for the prohibition of information. We all need to stick our necks out. Each one matters, and we can all do our part.

Good luck.

    Are you crazy? I don’t have to prove anything. I’m making this post. That’s more than you’re doing by shitting on it.

    We don’t have to reveal ourselves to commit to the cause.

      I get where you’re coming from, here and in the OP, but while what the guy said went a bit too far (the insult, and asking you to prove something), I get the spirit of what they’re asking. They’re asking what you’re doing, like as an example. Maybe to inspire others on what they can do.

      Because on one hand, the spirit of the OP is kinda dumb. I mean, no one wants to stick their neck out and risk their livelihood, especially in this economy. So I guess what they were trying to say is, what are you doing and what can someone do that’s more than what they’re already doing?

      But isn’t “reaveal[ing] ourselves” what you mean by “skin in the game”? That saying has a very specific meaning, it means to have a personal stake in the situation at hand.
