So, just want to clear up something I tweeted the other day about not being an intellectual. I’m not one in the sense that is regarded as the typical model which ppl see as ā€œintellectual.ā€ Like, Marxists will deem Parenti or anarchists used to say Chomsky was.
So, I guess what I’m saying is, I am like many of you. I just do my thing and absorbed a lot of information. I just refuse to articulate it with multi-syllable words, and there’s a reason for that...actually 2 reasons for that. The first being, I don’t know many of them lol.
Second, I grew up in this project building
No one in that building talks that way, they don’t understand not only ā€œbig words,ā€ but just don’t do in depth analysis. That is thanks to the education system we went thru, which by coincidence I was talking about with another comrade with today.
We just talk plain, most of the time it’s loud (usually because I think we are never heard and want someone to hear what we got to say), or it’s just our general demeanor (which is cool, too. Fuck w/e classist ā€œimpolite bullshit you been told, that’s just how we talk!
So, when I write, I’m talking. It’s coming from my head and going on screen. I’m in projects mode and I’m just being direct and honest. I don’t know no other way to do it. I ain’t going to lie, a lot of stuff is from things I learned but, that was self taught. So...
My intellectual ability as far as my capacity to reference scholars or even history is not *on point* like I said in the post ā€œmy history is not on point.ā€ I don’t look down on myself, I’m kinda glad I can help others reach a higher level of thinking and not just accepting.
But, there’s levels to this, I guess. You can see my post, right? And you are feeling it like
But go scroll down and you’ll see ppl on my followers list that are amazing spitters in the knowledge game. And that’s all I’m saying, I just break it down in simple ways, because many ppl aren’t brought up to listen to someone who doesn’t talk like they do, or...
Hasn’t suffered like they do. I’m also saying I’m really humbled by the ones (many of you who are my followers, some I’m just following) that I don’t ever let it affect the balance in my life. I’m not better than you, I’m one of you. No one is better than anyone.
That’s competitive bullshit that needs to stop. I just enjoy y’all for who you are and how you accept me for that straight, direct, I ain’t here to fuck around, basic approach. So, that’s what I was saying, I’m appreciative of y’all. You keep me humble, in knowing that...
I’m not some intellectual, I’m someone who can help you. My way won’t be good for some, some may like the classic modern lecture and method of explaining and I guess ā€œeducatingā€ others. That’s beautiful, just pls listen to them if that appeals to you. That just ain’t me lol 😊
