While none of us were precisely born as liberals, the vast majority of us were raised as such.
If you could reach back in time to the past version of you that remained under the illusions of liberalism, what would you say?
“get the fuck off of 4chan, it’s giving you brain damage and making you unlikable”
“read these articles and books by trans people. you might see yourself in them”
“read more feminist/queer/anti-racist literature so that you can stop being a shithead to the people around you”
i was already on the path towards leftism in high school i dont really think that i needed an extra push towards communism. but i was an edgy, stupidpol-esque asshole and i wish i wasnt. also my life would be a lot easier rn if i’d realized i was trans in high school instead of in my mid 20’s
