Screenshot from the book let this radicalize you. the text reads, if spitting horrifying facts at people changed minds and build movements, we would have overthrown the capitalist system long ago, because the facts have always been on our side.
To move past the expectation that facts alone will transform people’s politics, we have to sit with our discomfort that oftentimes people know. When it comes to many of the issues around which we’re organizing, most people are aware of the problem, even if they are not acquainted with all the horrid particulars. In fact, some might be quite familiar with the problem and still choose not to act.
man, this insight is so true and i love how it’s spelled out so clearly. helps explain why so many people in year 6 of the ongoing pandemic do not take any precautions or protective measures. #LetThisRadicalizeYou #BookSky
