qu1j0t3sure Feb 24 21:27
schestowitzI would like to know your opinion on open questions to crop up in my head based on friends who said I need to get involved more closely to make a real impact, like those who go lecturing in India about colonialism. Do they really need activists from the West? Is it really viable to do this? Does it increase one's impact? What about personal safety?Feb 24 21:28
qu1j0t3it's a very good questionFeb 24 21:37
qu1j0t3i think open source activism in developing countries is a very powerful thing to doFeb 24 21:37
qu1j0t3and not unsafeFeb 24 21:37
