Freirean conscientization is therefore a process of being insatiable in one’s thirst to complain about things and make them change somehow accordingly—specifically without any clear idea what they should change into. In no sense whatsoever can this be called a method of education. In fact, it probably barely qualifies as being thought reform. It’s much more accurately seen as a form of pervasive psychological destruction. Even so, thanks to Paulo Freire’s cult guidance, it is exactly the kind of psychological destruction its victims are led to feel good and proud about.
