    You’re not supposed to have fun. You’re supposed to learn so you can get a job that you enjoy.

    Hi, elder leftist here. The whole education system is already set up to produce obedient workers. If you don’t believe me, ask yourself how much time is spent teaching kids to organise effectively, or advocate for issues they care about. Or even just build good communication with their classmates, like how to react to bullying.

    All that matters is to follow the authority, don’t question the rules, put the things in your head that they give you and nothing else.

    The reason kids are bored in school is because the current system doesn’t address the real problems they have, so why should they care about the system.






  • Its different, it’s that feeling when your music, which you know is absolutely fine, gets shat upon by christian conservatives who believe it’s evil. But then throw in the cops and the government which historically and systemically shut down your opportunity to even play or listen to it and give more opportunities and legal benefits to those people who play pop.

    And you’re just trying to listen to the music you like, while every step of the way it gets way more difficult than it needs to be because it’s systemically rigged for you not to be able to listen to it. It’s exhausting.

    edit: grammar




  • If I’m being honest, the only thing that would be strange to me is why wouldn’t you consider yourself an ally? It sounds like there are are a lot of important people in your life who are LGBT. I guess if you’re wondering about perception, someone who has a lot of queer friends but doesn’t want to stand up for them usually rings alarm bells in the LGBT community. Not saying that’s you, just in general.

    But I will say from personal experience, allies are like gold for me. Love them all to death.

    And no worries, I feel like it’s a respectful question. Hope you can keep learning!
