How many “woke” Twitter accounts does it take to change a light bulb? The answer is none—we’re all busy attacking said light bulb on Twitter.
“We’ve grown so comfortable within our online circles that we assume everyone we interact with is on the same level of understanding as us… We enjoy shaming people for their mistakes just so we can get validation from our followers.” We’re so quick to judge someone for their misinformed claim, not realizing these people are ignorant not by their own fault or choice but because they were born into a position of lesser privilege to discern our idea of right and wrong. How these people came up with their opinion took several years of growing in a society that reinforced those kinds of beliefs. They would think that the belief society has imposed on them is for the common good even when it’s actually harmful.
We should always reach out to these people and educate them–further the discussion and talk about how we can overcome our own social conditioning instead of resorting to vicious ad hominem attacks. The more we drag, shade, expose or attack these people, the further we divide ourselves from each other, whereas our initial goal is to end injustice as one.
