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.

@whatanerd i don't know much about the theory of anarchist education, but i know what i learned myself attending the playcentre in wellington (a surprisingly traditional* model there where parents, both maori and pakeha, form a co-op and just kind of let kids learn what they're interested in), and it's so wild to me that europeans interested in the topic have never heard of this system

*as in, most people would assume it was founded from some modern developmental theory, rather than out of necessity in the 1940s
