Are We Fighting a War?

i'm sometimes inclined to contrast activism with pacifism where like in effect the activist sort of thinks that on some level we're at war they're very worked up about some particular problem. I would say there are many ways in the world that people know and learn things other than this shared project of being an intellectual or academic. If you if you allow it to appear to be knowing and learning but actually make it into activism without acknowledging that then you know you are polluting our brand, he says.
