For what reason would someone go through character destruction, get punched in the face on camera, lose relationship and all prospects of employment, etc. if not because he actually does believe in the cause? People like you never want to believe anything is real, that anyone is legit, that anyone might take a leap of faith and try their best to advance the cause, even at great risk. Probably because you’re formless and could not or would not do it yourself.
