Yeah, I'm 100% just doubling down on anarchy. I noticed that the world doesn't work right in my pre-teen years, the only difference now is that I understand why. Even when I read Atlas Shrugged, my takeaway was that businesses extracting valuefrom people was the main problem.

Same like i basically went from a barely progressive liberal to a libertarian socialist of some kind to just straight up anarchist in a few years because shit has gotten so bad and the rate of things getting worse increased that i just said fuck it start over

In my case it's more like 'cut out a tumour so you can start healing' Now that I feel like understand the heart of the issues better I believe it's a project we can and should start today with so many smaller things.

If we solve the problem of violent oppression with oppressive violence, we haven't actually solved it at all, and the world built on its ashes will be no better than it was before.

Agreed it will obviously be a difficult thing to do but we just need to build a form of society that helps and cares for everyone

It's not that people got more conservative with age... it's that the conservative party sloooowly inched forward in progress until it met wherever your starting line was, maybe 30 years behind. But it's been stuck in the 1950's for a while so that's happening less.

Heck, it *was* up to maybe the 1980's and its just been going backwards as the boomer elected generation has just... been there for decades now. Outside of Obama we haven't had a president born before 1941.

That’s just a ridiculous antiquated attitude. I hope more people are realizing this isn’t actually true

When I was younger I thought mother jones magazine was a bit out there. These days I think it's a nice starting point but we could do more...

I may be more interested in conserving things in terms of wanting them to keep around, say, the deodorant or shampoo that it took me years to find that actually works for me. As far as politics go, I have moved inexorably to the left.

The only way we could end up conservative is if our progressive ideologies become the norm for long enough that we want things to stay that way instead of degrading to a more hateful society X'D

I was always told this too.
