I truly feel like social media could be a great tool if people used it right. And the fact that they don't is by far the most infuriating thing ever. We could be doing so much more, yet we do nothing. "The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself."
This essay reminds me of the TikTok by economyvodka discussing conformity of conservative fashion trends. Great supplement resource to continue this discussion!
I’ve recently started becoming more conscious of how often I feel rebellious or emotionally charged by what I see on social media, yet without being truly active or engaged in the real issues. Reading this made me reflect on something I been lately trying to define, how much of that reaction can sometimes be more about wanting to feel rebellious, rather than actually responding to the core of the problem. It’s like some expressions of outrage or activism are more about personal performance than genuine focus on change.
This is an extremely good and necessary essay, really. The idea of seeing everything in silence because "wisdom speaks quietly" really made us passive to everything that's happening.
