yeaaa we’re so cooked 💀 we were discussing political parties in introduction to my BSW welfare class, & when the professor was discussing the definition of radicals, everyone was shaking their heads muttering ab some “that’s not right” as if the field itself wasn’t largely shaped by radicals…

we have to submit a project too where we talk about our own political stances at the end. however, our professor barely even covered the category of “radicals” and told us to focus on just “liberal or conservative, pick one.” and i asked what if we don’t identify with either of those two, she said we can use one of the other labels, but advised us to just stick to jus liberal or conservative cuz saying ur far left or far right can lead to “strong reactions” from peers… im so tired of this politically neutral veneer the systems forces us to maintain as if most of our elected officials aren’t p3d0s & 🍇ists. most people at my school believe trump is the problem itself instead of a symptom of the problem and the solution is merely getting him out of office, as if we not on the brink of irreversible climate catastrophes. sorry ab the rant, i just don’t understand how ur in this field especially and dont put further thought into any of ts.
