I was an edgy 13-year old who discovered the meaning of "left wing" and "right wing", repeated Ben Shapiro talking points for six months, then became a lib when I developed empathy. Started going to climate change student protests and I felt amazing, powerful, like I was changing the world. Nothing came of it and I questioned why people would burn our world for profit, which lead to me reading Marx when I was 16.
