How does the term “idealistic” undermine our way of thinking, if its viewed in a negative framework? In this episode, the term idealist is analyzed in relation to the ways in which current events through powerful movements have presented our frame of ideas for a future of equality for all. To many who try to uphold archaic paradigms and narratives about society, we can seem like absurd dreamers, radicals, and anarchists, for our ways of thinking. Yet our frame of mind is the foundation for our ability as activists to demand social change in our communities. No matter the issue, our understanding of today’s world comes from our fearlessness to answer the biggest questions about inequality, and demand a real concrete answer to these questions. In the strive for global equity and preservation of human rights, we are the crucial players who can demand change at a systemic level.
