I’m at such an intersection of privilege that I don’t think I considered politics in any meaningful way until my early 20s when I got hit with the libertarian propaganda and realized that maybe the police and army are political actually.
I always hear of people doing such great work and being so political in their teenage years ago I wonder if it’s more common for someone to not engage in politics until adulthood line myself or if it’s truly just my position in life that allowed me to be ignorant for so long.
I remember buying a shirt with “fuck politics I just want to burn shit down” when I was around 17 and honestly edginess was I think my entire ideology at the time
I grew up in a small town so I wasn’t exposed to much like that outside the odd concert in the city. Very cool path
It was cool, but then I spent like 10 years being apolitical, or worse: technocratic, so… I also meant to say that the political journey isn’t linear, and that we all start somewhere, or like in my case, we start really strong, and then we kind of fuck off, and then have to pick up from where we left.
