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
both my parents were (actual) leftists, so pretty much when i became conscious in general
though i only became engaged with politics properly at around 14 when i read Lenin
I hope to give my child a similar trajectory

it was pretty nice, but we were poor and they had some brainworms
