-Paolo Freire Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970)

"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." -Paolo Freire Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970)

how does this lead to action? i can haz teh internet revolushuns?

how does this lead to action? Weʼre talking about the process of coming together to imagine a different world and a different way of being, and then ﬁghting for that. I think thereʼs limitations to how that can be done, from what Iʼve seen, in the online world. Because itʼs ultimately about building relationships and crossing comfortable areas. Organising, if itʼs being effective, shouldnʼt be too comfortable. Youʼre talking about bringing people together that are being pushed apart... i can haz teh internet revolushuns?
