f-identity: metalheadsforblacklivesmatter:Individualism is a very imperialist and colonizer mindset. Individualism is what led people like Columbus to see people that treated him with kindness and say, “Ah, yeah. Potential slaves.” Because he only thinks of his damn self. And it’s irritating, because we’re raised on that shit. And I don’t mean just “raised in western culture”. I mean we’re legit told to help no one and only care about yourself all they’ve school, and we’re told to fuck people over to better ourselves in the work place. Word for word what SEVERAL DIFFERENT TEACHERS told the class, “Don’t help your classmates study, because you’re competing with them for college admissions. If they do better because you helped them study, you’ll be less likely to be accepted into college.”Spoiler alert. Me helping my classmates study did nothing to fuck me over in applying to college. In fact, it BENEFITED me because I learned simpler methods to complete these problems by teaching others. -fae [Image description: a series of tweets by @/ungnyeodongji.Tweet 1: “Individualism is rubbish. The individual is an entirely powerless unit; it could not give birth to itself, cannot raise itself, educate itself, or change the world itself. It is entirely a product of the people and environment around it. To emphasize the individual is an error.”Tweet 2: “Its a hard pill to swallow for westerners brought up in an individualistic mindset, but the reality is that you have never really done anything by yourself. Your actions and very nature are defined by your relations with outside people, the land, and material things.”Tweeted 7:25pm, 26 Mar 22./end image description] -- source link
