Very true. The proper way to deal with the Felon or the puppet master is with humiliation. We must mock them every chance we get. The public needs to be shown they aren’t to be feared but to be laughed at. That is how you disarm a narcissist.

They come for thinkers first.

Omg, this meme is both tragic and funny.

And let me be clear: circumstances dictate whether or not intellectuals need to be on the street to fight. But we must understand, we can’t just replace a virologist overnight, so things have to be kept in context. The bottom line is that we should be using our education to resist, not indulge.

2/ Intellectuals have a crucial role to play, but that role should be to refine tactics of resistance, challenge false narratives, and counter cultural pundits. Their theories must be aimed at dismantling oppression, not just spinning abstract concepts.

3/ Theory that doesn’t help dismantle oppression is just an exercise in intellectual luxury. Intellectuals should be using their minds to innovate resistance, challenge the status quo, and expose propaganda—not hiding behind theoretical walls.

4/ Words have power, but they need to be harnessed responsibly. Intellectuals, your job isn’t just to create more theories—it’s to challenge cultural pundits, refute the lies, and craft better strategies for resistance. Theory must lead to action.

5/ Intellectuals, your work isn’t just about playing in the world of ideas. It’s about using those ideas to shift reality. It’s about creating more intelligent tactics of resistance, innovating new paths forward, and holding power to account.

6/ You don’t necessarily have to be on the frontlines, but intellectuals must ensure their theories lead to real-world impact. That means countering false narratives, devising new methods of resistance, and aiming to disrupt the systems of oppression at their core.

7/ Intellectuals can’t afford to treat theory as an escape from reality. Theory should challenge the pundits, dissect propaganda, and contribute to effective, actionable resistance strategies. Words must push towards tangible change.
