Summary by Lina Al Sharabi

     "The Revolution Will Not Be Polite" is an article that was influenced by a post that has been posted by a tumblr user, which contains a list of non-oppressive insults. The article mainly initiated as a reaction to the re-blogs that the post received rather than on the post itself. The writer, Rachael, simply tries to describe the difference between social justice (being good) and politeness (being nice). The writer also highlights the cultural and social rights of individuals and their importance in society, which, if achieved, will lead to opportunities and law, as those aspects will determine one’s goodness and will eventually lead to further understanding the meaning of this article. Through the emphasis on oppression, Rachael was able to define oppression as lack of rights and opportunities. The topic of this argument is significant because it allows the readers to acknowledge the difference between niceness and goodness; because lack of knowledge about such an issue will eventually lead to misinterpreting oppression with meanness, which will lead to social chaos. Social justice is simply for the GOOD of people and not to make the world –as Rachael wrote- a nicer place.
