Heyy thank you! It hasn’t been super easy for me, at the beginning I was scared of being judged for what I do and think, but with time and patience I learnt to not care about it. Also, activism isa vast term, if you’re scared of doing irl actions you can just start by making online stuff. I did kind of the opposite since I started by organizing protests (with other people who later became my friends) and going to them a few years ago, then I started doing more online stuff, but it’s different for everyone.

At the beginning I was also scared of legal and social consequences for what I was doing, but it’s a risk you have to take sometimes, other times you just don’t partecipate because you think it’s too risky and that’s fine.

For online activism, all you need is some motivation (so not like me). The motivation to make stuff.

For irl stuff (which can also be different from going to protests and organizing them) you also need to be in the right mindset, which means you have to find the courage, and always have your guard up.

I think I went off topic but ye that’s all I can say, I had found a beautiful post about activism some time ago, let’s see if I can find it again… here it is:

I love this post, I hope it can help you.

PS: it has nothing to do with the post, but I saw you speak German and I love German!
