#65: Activist Burnout (ft. Max & Max)
Do you ever take on so much activist work that you become physically or emotionally sick? Begin to hate everyone around you for not 'throwing down' into the cause as much as you? Notice yourself becoming more and more bitter, fantasizing about exiting the movement permanently and becoming a Wall Street Banker because who cares, nothing matters, we're all gonna die anyway? Max does a solocast episode about activist burnout, splits himself into two people, and does a lot of deep breathing.
