Youāve hit the nail on the head here! Itās not something that gets me that wound up in everyday life, itās Insta āactivistsā in general that really get on my nerves because they position themselves as āworld changingā and theyāre SO quick to call out people publicly/send their followers piling on them but they never take responsibility for themselves/act like they should always be given the benefit of the doubt because theyāre ālearningā
In general when they mess up (and with 1000s of followers that could have a big impact) thereās no responsibility taken or acknowledgment of any harm done, thereās just a self absorbed āreflectionā where they make an excuse about why they behaved that way, they throw in the phrase āIām acknowledging my privilege and always learningā and then do absolutely nothing to learn from it and continue as they were
They canāt position themselves as an activist and not take constructive feedback, so if they canāt handle that, maybe they should consider that the world might not actually need to hear their opinion on every single thing
(says me, continually ranting, but at least I donāt act like Iām doing anyone a favour and youāre free to disagree without me blasting you on my Insta stories
)
