This sounds like something a wine-mom would say at a 4th of July pool party after accidentally eating a light dose of mushroom chocolates. Which, honestly, I’m good with. At least it show some degree of self awareness.
Kamala Harris’ ‘Coconut Tree’ Quote, Explained: What She Meant And Why It’s Going Viral Amid Calls For Biden To Drop Out
The widely memed quote has resurged on social media as a seemingly tongue-in-cheek rallying cry for Vice President Kamala Harris to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee following his poor debate performance.
I mean tbf there’s ways to read that as a little yikes when taken out of context.
Plus she’s not exactly saying the weight of all that context is a burden the way Marx is.
Harris spoke about the importance of equity in education policy, noting that not all students are offered the same opportunities to succeed, depending on financial resources and the environments they are raised in. She said “none of us just live in a silo” and “everything is in context,”
That does feel like she thinks it’s a burden. I’m honestly surprised, given her career pre vice presidency, but it seems like a reasonable take to me.
Like most liberal women, she has been relentlessly slagged in the media since she got any amount of recognition. I’d look more closely at her actual politics and history, because while it isn’t perfect, it certainly is different than how the public seems to (negatively) perceive her.
Don’t Care, ACAB includes prosecutors.
Even on its face the quote isn’t bad, especially if you compare it to what comes out of Trump’s mouth daily.
solsangraalis this meme trying to say “context” and “tradition” are the same thing? different people in the same “context” could follow vastly different “traditions,” which i agree, some traditions should be flushed away into the septic tank of history
removing yourself from whatever “context” you’re in could also be difficult, same as putting yourself into a context you weren’t born into
There’s a slight difference in nuance between both sentences, but both essentially come out to mean “everyone’s heavily influenced by their inherited social context”, which is basically a Sociology 101 take (it was more ground-breaking during Marx’s time tho).
Being born into poverty and no opportunities is not exactly tradition.
just what i was thinking…“traditional” marriage, gender roles, and other outdated stone age bullshit
The amount of bafflement people express at that statement is ludicrous. People discuss it like she’s speaking a made up language.
People are fucking stupid.
