I can’t stand jokes about how young people are more politically radical than past generations cause they erase the history of activism, it just feels so disrespectful even if it’s a joke…..like bro you would be nowhere without the black panther party and other past liberation movements I hope you know this….

Fucking hell y’all

Someone: You can appreciate more that one person per field
