honestly tumblr ideological discourse is such a mess, like, a huge section of tumblr is young people being inundated with radical ideas that they’ve never been exposed to before with absolutely no context, and then they’re expected to immediately start pushing these ideas (even though they’re incapable of understanding them because they haven’t been given the framework with which to do so) and it just ends up in a mess of guilt-tripping and increasingly confused ideology
an addendum because the tags on this post are freaking me the hell out: “radical” is not code for “bad”; this is not a post about the evils of communism or how tumblr “hates” straight people; this is entirely a post about how ideas with merit get distorted when they’re spread solely through one-line text posts
