Does Everyone Know My Speakers Are Blown?

Leave room for people with memory problems in your activism. First off, stop expecting everyone to know off the top of their head which famous people (or activists, or tumblr users) are problematic and why. Some of us literally cannot remember this information.

And when you’re arguing with someone about something social justice related and they can’t come up with any specific examples, keep in mind that they might have memory problems and this doesn’t necessarily mean you’re right.

Remember that people with memory problems exist and we can’t participate in activism the same way that others can.

This is literally the first time I’ve seen a post about memory problems. Thank you @transtrendsetters.

You’re welcome! Nobody’s talking about memory problems but we really need to be talking about them.

Y'all act like George W. Bush (who went to yale, harvard), Bill O'Reilly (who went to harvard), Glenn Beck (who went to yale), and Mitt Romney (who went to harvard), etc. are anomalies among prestigious universities.

These people are not unintelligent; these people are not uneducated.

Acquisition of higher education isn’t the same as not being willfully ignorant. You can be highly educated and say ignorant shit, it’s actually pretty common: hence this blog.

Stop putting your faith in our education system to rid our society of systematic oppression. Higher education actively encourages oppression.

When you say something is too much of a “short term” solution to poverty, whether or not you’re right (and we absolutely do need long term change and the elimination of capitalism), what you’re somehow forgetting, probably because you’ve never been poor or homeless, is that people are still trying to LIVE in the short term. People need to eat in the short term. They need whatever will keep them from catastrophic withdrawal in the short term. They need to pay their water bills. They need to pay their mortgages. These are all short term needs and they’re only easy to ignore if you’ve never had to deal with them. Ignoring the short term while loftily preaching about overthrowing capitalism is bourgeois leftism at its maximum.
