I am not talking to people who are "invested" in a topic to the point they only know about it superficially and don't know shit about the things they reference beyond the fact they existed.

I'm not better than someone else because I know more than them about something and have had the ability to spend more time on it, but I am far more impatient because those kinds of folks like to pretend that I don't know shit or can't have thoughts other than ones that match theirs. They're not engaging in conversation, and they're not engaging in building off another person's understanding.

They are engaging in forcing silence and compliance, and I will not have it.

Also, because I'm frustrated by this, if you think Paulo Freire was primarily focusing on working with CHILDREN, then you don't know what the fuck you're actually referencing.

And if you think FRANCISCO FERRER is the epitome of anarchist education, then you may as well merge with my least favourite hack historian of anarchists.

@idzie Right?! It's like these people are still living in the 1910s or 1960s and nowhere else.

@whatanerd I genuinely believe both that the people who do this have actually not heard of any other theorists/writers/models because the have no interest in or knowledge of the subject, and that the majority of them haven't even read anything besides quotes and MAYBE longer excerpts from either Ferrer or Freire.

And I mean, neither have I, which is fine, because I don't go popping up in stranger's mentions like "have you heard the gospel of our Lord and Savior Paulo Freire" 🙃
