What is activism? Anjali Appadurai at TEDxYouth@Biddeford

[@antioppressiveaction2732]

I, as an activist, really appreciate your twist on steering away from fear and focusing on getting the JOB done. Being motivated by the Utopia we wish to accomplish..rather than flattened w/ fear.

Thank you @ AntiOppresiveactions. There's something I'm taking anti oppressive action against in Africa I would like you to know about.

In having to be an activism?? in this day of age i feel that No one is to born to activism or to be taught to be one but it is a calling! i truly feel that in our civil society of today there are a lot of democracy protest's young people being arrested for what they truly believe in what ever the issue maybe at hand, but to be a good Activism it really starts with in yourself and how you would want to see that change in our world today where we begin our work in raising awareness having people's voice being heard demonstrating good equality have a good standing and knowing to stand with a firm compassion Solidarity heart as well having to make a differences taking opportunities when Action's can be made. Activism is also a life long lesson's of being a good Advocate for yourself and other's of what we call as Social Change with in social justice and injustices.

White men in suits, she just blew it, this is the attitude of separation, not compassion. I think we people should make sure we understand how to mitigate our own individual suffering by loving oneself like we are supposed to love another. What is the difference between yourself and another? Consider that. If we come to a conclusion on that consideration we have probably given up and taken up an assumption that isn't in harmony with the wellbeing of everyone. A system is a system. A human being is us all, not just the nice seeming ones and not excluding the bad seeming ones.

I'm a white man in a suit. Can I not be an activist? Am I not allowed to try to help the world and reduce the suffering I see in it?

[@tashreeqhartley571]

That’s not what she said. You’re taking it out of context. You can be an activist

[@bridget9028]

She’s just trying to voice that even if you are not a white man in a suit, you can still be an activist since in most cases (not all) they can have more privilege or be heard more because of systematic reasons

[@nathanjames1089]

She's (appropriately) stereotyping the 1%. I am also a white man in a suit. We should all try to help the world where we can.

[@gervitahomecaresupport3218]

I just started my KZbin I want to focus on activism and I need to be promote and get some tips from you and invite you on my channel

[@uilium]

You don't have compassion, you have beliefs that you impose on others. This is false pride and superficial blind arrogance.
