Me at 20 "I think we can improve things a bit by making some adjustments"
me at 30, much more privileged in general "Ok so I think we should probably start by offering everyone with an investment property execution or voluntary collectivisation of everything they own"
I love that meme and I already sent it to my friends, unfortunately for me not only I remained poor but I also interiorized so much the idea that "it's my fault and something must be wrong with me" that I ended up thinking my boomer parents were just right about everything.
I am leaning towards skepticism about every hint that a "different future is possible" and that social justice will prevail in the end. The current geopolitical, environmental, economic and financial crises point to something else.
Oof yeah. It took me a long time to accept that my financial struggles aren't part of a moral failing on my part. In my case, parents were actually good, but growing up in a region where the "protestant work ethic" was emphasized was hell on the self esteem. There's so much casual classism out there as well, trying to make people like me feel like "trash." It's extremely fucked up.
Haven't hit the moltov throwing antifa stage but yeah.
Give it some time
I hope I’ll never become like my bigot father
53 year old me.
Screw that, I've got empathy unlike conservatives.
I have grown more progressive in my 30's and 40's, but looking around me, I feel like I have no choice but to acknowledge that, at least here in the US, conservatism has won for at least the next generation.
The strategy of buying up both ruling parties worked exceedingly well for the 1%.
I'm 60 now and lean WAY over to the left
Fuck yeah
I like the pic, anybody has a link?
A reverse google image search gave me this: https://www.deviantart.com/suddenlyabird/art/Molly-Tov-Eat-The-Rich-Red-Black-617071486 Seems to be the original, but I don't know for sure.
Any yet we are past the post of neo-feudalism which I find infuriating. This should be the political jihad being fought for votes in a democracy.
I was ultra conservative, born in Alabama to religious nutters, and don't believe there is any representation for the Left in the USA.
