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
I don’t even remember grade 2, how could you have been an Obama fanatic? Genuinely curious
we learned about it in class and debated eachother, we read the kids times magazine, we thought obama was gonna cut the school week down to four days a week and give us all free yummy lunches. also i wanted a president that looked like me (i thought hillary was cool for being a woman but i heard she was gonna send us to war and i thought that was scary) . i made a full presentation for my family as to why they should vote for Obama. its one of my few memories i have of second grade tbh. oh and i thought obama was anti war and i was very anti war becuase duh
Politicians are always saying they’ll extend recess but they never deliver.
I’m trying really hard to remember if we did anything even close to that in grade 2 but all i remember is having my deck dumped out in front of the class because i was unable to keep it clean
