Journalism award? First place? Halfway into my twenty-eighth year myself, and though I feel muchly similar pain, I do it without such accolades and potential. I get tired of lying to myself that I'll be okay, maybe, some day, eventually. I don't want to Be Someone, I just want to know who I am.
My argument is "defacing property is an act of violence." "Defacing" by definition is alteration without permission, whether by act of adding of removing some feature.

I am very much not trying to advocate banning a historical symbol, especially since I'm one of those people who go out of their way to read banned books, so such a consideration would be hypocrisy. While I'm not a fan of the flag flying over a government building, and a big fan of the talking being done about whether it belongs there, I agree that Ms Newsome was in the wrong when she took it down. I'm also a big advocate of freedom of speech, regardless whether I agree with the speech or the statement being made. If the end result of this mess is to put the flag back on the pole, then I won't advocate increased hostilities. I'll grumble about it, but I won't advocate -- I don't advocate -- violence.

I suspect he'd likely stop the crowdfunding once he gets his subsidized income, but I'm not inclined to take that on as an act of faith, especially if I were one of his donors. I'm not one of his donors, and never will be; I unfortunately, am not one of those people who can depend on my charisma to pay my bills, regardless how minimalistic of a life I lead.
I think I'd be hard-pressed to find someone who could honestly answer "No." I too desire power, but I don't desire attention. I desire power for the sake of making myself as independent and autonomous from society and "modern" civilisation as possible, but I have little desire to bring attention to myself, or "show off" holes in the "traditional" way of living.
That's been a concern of mine for some time, and I've been playing since 2013. It hasn't happened yet. If anything the game has taught me to stop taking things so personally. My local area's downtown flips about every two days; you could almost set your calendar by it.
