The reaction won’t like you. The marginalized peoples who you are standing up for, if/when they are aware of your existence, will probably like you, or at least feel ambivalent about you. When a leader of a socialist state is widely liked, it’s because they headed up efforts that did good things for their people; the being liked is a side effect of making a real difference in millions of lives. People who are still in process of protesting the status quo but have not yet accomplished meaningful change that translates to material benefit are going to be more widely disliked because at a glance it just looks like they’re being disruptive. Organizational efforts should be doing both; challenging the status quo, but also helping out and building ties even in early stages of capability. Not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also because it builds popular support for an alternative. Which should translate to getting liked some of the time if you’re doing it effectively, even if being liked is not what doing it is about.
