I have no heart, I was redpilled at age... 13 I think it was. Saw the first increase in minimum wage while working at that time, saw my prices go up more than the percent increase, and didn't see my own pay go up. Hated the left ever since.
I was liberal but not a good one. This was in the 90s and early 00s. I did the pot, saw the bands, railed against the establishment but I also was aware of the hypocrisy of others in the scene. I truly wanted to free my mind and find enlightenment. Repeating canned narratives with no question seemed the opposite of that goal. I’m actually no different today in that regard except more mature (I can’t smoke pot so I don’t, responsibilities, not a cringey emo know it all, etc).
I took acid at a hippie fest excited for what I’d see when my eyes were truly opened. When that moment came my big revelation was that “this is all bullshit, why are we here night after night wasting money and being non productive “.
Edit: I was approved time off for 3 days surrounding inauguration as I plan to go. No one suspects a thing at work (lefty environment). I’ll showing them pictures when I get back.
