#cause intelligence and wisdom are two very different things! having the former doesn’t guarantee the latter

As a leftist, having ‘good intentions’ is not enough.

You need to be fucking educated.

Your intentions mean NOTHING, without accurate knowledge and education abt minorities, you’re just doomed to repeat harmful propaganda without A) being able to spot it and B) more prone to justifying your bigotry and biases via ‘I’m trying to be morally correct so I’ll just believe whatever makes me feel good 🥺🥺🥺’ which just results in you confirming and perpetrating you own biases.

Like… I have a migraine now. I just spent 2 HOURS explaining the history of antisemitism in europe to my mum and educating her about jewish stereotypes and the history/cultural context behind it cause she’s a typical well-meaning-but uneducated leftist who thinks that spewing antisemitic rhetoric is somehow ‘helping Palestine’ i think the fuck not! bitch ur literally european how the fuck are you NOT familiar with the BS myths and legends behind antisemitism… thought it was common knowledge but I suppose people are generally less educated than i thought????? ugh.

Being a leftist doesn’t automatically make you a good person, or ‘correct’ or even morally correct.

You gotta actually fucking learn about history, and various cultures, and the context behind different types of bigotry if you want to avoid repeating it.

Everybody thinks they’re ‘morally correct’. Nazis think their actions are morally justifiable.

Being a leftist isn’t about being ‘morally correct’.
