My parents were antiwar and liberal af. My mom once told me as a kid that if the draft happened, they’d move me to Canada. So I was radicalized pretty early on about imperialism (in the most rudimentary sense—I was a kid after all).
The drawings weren’t great either lol. I still have them somewhere.
That's cool! It's not always easy as a child to make sense of contrasting messages from home vs from school and wider society.
I definitely didn’t understand most of it then as a kid, but I feel like it opened a doorway that shaped who I am today. That was also in the 90s when US society wasn’t yet destitute for working class families.
