              This is going to sound incredibly facetious, but I’ve had multiple dozens of people directly thank me for reaching them. I can’t reach everyone, of course, but I know for a fact that I do reach many people, so your assertion that because I can’t seem to reach you that I must not be able to reach anyone is just not true.

              I could absolutely be better at reaching people, of course I could, but I also know that different strategies work for different people, and some people simply don’t want to be reached to begin with.

          In an ideal world, the Red Scare would not have existed, and we could discuss the genuine merits and struggles faced internally and externally in AES without that clouding discussion. Its why I prefer talking with comrades about the shortcomings in AES, as I know they aren’t doing it to undermine the achievements but to legitimately identify problems to solve.

          I think, despite all of the struggles, that I do an okay job with engaging people open to listening.
