"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I was in 8th grade in 2017-18, had a friend that was super anti-woke, he put me on to "SJW owned compilation" videos. Though I didn't fully believe in everything they said, i felt compelled to externally agree as it was what most my peers would parrot. Not to mention, i was an avid viewer of the "edgy youtubers" like idubbz, filthyfrank, leafyishere, etc. I was lucky enough to have a very close friend who was fairly progressive and he kinda just showed me how dumb people like Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, etc. were. Also, since I'm a person of color and immigrant, i saw their anti-immigrant rhetoric as cringe and stupid but liked how they were "speaking the truth" (being purposefully obtuse and prejudiced). To sum it all up, I was a cringe kid that wanted attention and thought being edgy would get me there. I was chronically online and basically no parental supervision.
