    is this meme trying to say “context” and “tradition” are the same thing? different people in the same “context” could follow vastly different “traditions,” which i agree, some traditions should be flushed away into the septic tank of history

    removing yourself from whatever “context” you’re in could also be difficult, same as putting yourself into a context you weren’t born into

      There’s a slight difference in nuance between both sentences, but both essentially come out to mean “everyone’s heavily influenced by their inherited social context”, which is basically a Social Sciences 101 take (it was more ground-breaking during Marx’s time tho).

      Being born into poverty and no opportunities is not exactly tradition.
