Well, you never know where you're going to meet someone with high ideals who actually does something about them, (and not just talk.) But, you should be more open also. Maybe you won't meet any actual freedom fighters, but someone with that type of passion? I think that's what you need, is someone who has passion in what they do.

Perhaps you should join an organization that holds the similar ideals that you already have? I mean, people who have like minds usually find ways to gether together, right? That's usually the best way to meet someone with your interests and values.
