i have read this before and already agree, i am not claiming that it should be the oppressed's responsibility to teach, they obviously lack the resources and social position and excess effort. i am simply pointing out - the oppresors are not going to educate themselves. the people in power do everything they can to prevent that, their society is built to prevent that as much as possible. people's opinions are shaped by their material conditions, not 'what is obviously morally correct to me'.
That was arguably analagous to the oppressed 'educating' their oppressors. The landlords did not do it for them.
edit: in a more literal sense the party had to spend enormous effort educating people to build support, the peasants weren't magically more in tune with economics and politics than landlords. SOMEONE had to teach them.
I just like it when my partner is nice to me, and vice versa for them. I agree that the memes are pretty cringe, but I feel at that point it's more of a fetish thing anyway
If you can wipe your own ass the comment was explicitly not about you. What you’re describing is straight up abuse and I’m sorry anyone’s calling you names like that. I had a girlfriend while I was in college who called me a p*ssy and told me to man up whenever I didn’t do exactly what she wanted. Shouldn’t have stayed as long as I did. It was real bad
I can wipe my own ass I just wanted someone who wouldn't tell me I was a useless removed for feeling sad

I thought it was normal human behavior to not call someone a slur for feeling sad
