This is what a lot of good men suffer from. Myself included. 

I just can’t not call out bullshit and it alienates me from many people.

But idgaf because in my core I know that if I don’t speak up, I become part of the problem. 

 Yeah there’s a very difficult balancing act of saying the truth and not losing everyone around you who is (rightfully) afraid.

 JA always described himself as a lightning rod for wikileaks.  He spoke the truth but paid the price for the whole wikileaks org being journalists, and protecting their sources.  It was a strange thing that many people who focussed on JA forgot completely about the journalism of wikileaks, which is more relevant today than ever.  I have even heard nostr celebs who like assange disparaging wikileaks.  More than the person is what he stood for, which is honest journalism : who, what, why, where, when.
