There’s a right-wing obsession with Che Guevara which is disproportionate to his actual importance as a revolutionary and theorist within the international communist movement, and I’m pretty sure it all does just come down to the fact that his face is on a t-shirt which was trendy twenty years ago.

I’m sure there are a number of folks in the notes arguing against this, and I just wanna point out that they just wanna be racist without being called racist.

Possibly unpopular opinion? There’s a thin line between anti-elitism-in-academia and anti-intellectualism, and tumblr really walks it sometimes.

Anti-elitism:

Criticizing class barriers to getting into academia

Criticizing lack of resources to help students with physical or mental health issues

Calling out racism and sexism in academia

Calling out people who treat others badly for being less educated

Calling out people who believe academia is the only way to gain knowledge

Anti-intellectualism:

Being opposed to academia as an institution

Acting like everyone in academia is a rich and privileged white man

Acting like their opinions shouldn’t matter because of this

Assuming that any specialised language exists only to make things difficult for a layperson to understand and couldn’t possibly be necessary in order to explain a complicated topic

Assuming that if a specialist can’t explain what they’re doing to a non-specialist in five minutes then what they do is nonsense

Shaming people for taking pride in their academic and intellectual achievements

Am I crazy for thinking that tumblr sometimes veers towards the second?

[octopuscato]

Nope, you’re observant.

If you see me looking zoned out it’s cuz im having a therapy session with myself in my head

honestly i might as well delete tumblr. I don't use it much and most leftists circles unfortunately favor statehood for puerto rico which is truly the most lukewarm take you could have to resolve a colonial situation. It's like saying an abuse survivor should marry their abuser. Makes me wanna vomit tbh

The news was talking about the protests over the sexist and homophobic texts made by Puerto Rican governor Ricardo Rosselló

My dad said "No one would care if he was president."

[jerezanas]

the texts aren't the cause of the protests, it was the corruption and moral depravity displayed in them, which are impeachable crimes according to puerto rico's legal system. Please don't make this about Trump, it detracts from the conversation.

[jerezanas]

also sorry i never post i am literally out here being a protest babe
