so true.
I try to focus on uplifting the least privileged
and highlighting the cruelty inherent in having privilege *over* others
while safeguarding the things we all cherish as "communal privilege" like...
running water, computers, and culture.

do you ever think about how calling the BLM events "protests" versus "riots"
is a subtle dogwhistle for your politics? I usually say "riots" so that I
blend in. also because I've been conditioned by the people who I talk to about
them.

how to be a class traitor 101:
step 1: actively work against the liberation of your peers
step 2: ???
step 3: PROFIT! ... well, for them at least. you're still oppressed.
it's so easy even a "basically-everybody" could do it!
to learn more, try sleeping through your history and civics classes. Or if
that's not your style you could always watch the news in the background while
playing games on your phone.

one of my most humbling political memories is getting in a fight with a kid at
school (okay, a heated argument) because he said republicans lower taxes and I
thought democrats did.
turns out we were both right, because one of our dads had money.
gotta raise taxes for public services, and well inflation's just a fact of
life y'know, at least stuff doesn't cost as much as way back when.

every leftist should have a pilgrimage to conservative lands. In times of
peace, this is valid. in times of war... less so. but, the first one to cause
harm is dealt an increasing blow, back and forth until one wears thin. not
ideal. or, one is led to peace, where they benefit from each other's helping
arms.
