I really don't want to make another political post because a few of the other ones blew up and I felt like I was getting an ulcer, but I just want to say please please please don't idolize people on here or on twitter. no matter how many social justice buzz words they throw at you please remember they could be absolutely anyone. just because someone acts confident does not mean they have ANY idea what they're doing.

#I think the fact that starbucks #(a company that is not and has never been on the BDS boycott list because they don't actually have any direct connection to isre*l)#is THE figurehead of the twitter BDS boycott movement #should tell you that social media is not a reliable place to be getting your information from #and never ever feel bad about questioning someone or asking them to explain themselves #(I mean as long as they are positioning themselves as some sort of authority on a topic or trying to convince you to do something)#if someone tells you 'the answer should be obvious'#that usually means they don't actually know the answer themselves #or they are intentionally trying to manipulate you #and remember it is always ok to just admit you don't know something #oh and of course the above includes me too #I am going to make mistakes #and as much as I try not to I am going to accidentally reblog misinformation or say the wrong thing or take a stranger's word for something #<- which is why making posts like this stresses me out but #idk just a reminder
