sorry im on a negative criticism streak here lately but honestly the absolute narcissism of having a disagreement with someone on ideological terms and taking the frame that you are 'educating' them, like where the hell is the epistemic humility

Is this person "educating" you? If so do they understand you most likely could school them ten times over on any subject they may bring up?

Agree. The popularization of this kind of 'education' rhetoric is extremely condescending. I'm not sure who it's supposed to convince. (And that goes even when the 'educator' is right and the 'educatee' is wrong.)

Most ideologies function as faith to many adherents. Disagreement's dismissed as ignorance at best, malevolence at worst. Would-be ideological educators are essentially missionaries out to save souls.
