I started getting food from our local food distribution for me and a couple of friends. I usually show up late but yesterday I got there right when they started and there was probably 50-70 people waiting. I know we have some people in my city that need it and I'm glad we have this network but seeing so many people there even before they were technically open was still eye opening.
Something I've been thinking about as I'm radicalizing even more recently is that I started college as a liberal but basically as a Bernie Bro. During college I watched a docu-series called The Untold History of the United States. It corroborated a lot of claims I was getting trickle-fed from /r/latestagecapitalism. Then when I took my History classes in college around Junior semesters, my fairly un-biased professor went more in-depth on all the stuff you normally cover in HS but mentioned that we definitely didn't win the Vietnam War, and "most likely" the Soviets are who won WW2. It was vailidating and it I think it really kick-started the rest of my journey into socialism. Shortly after I graduated, I read the Communist Manifesto. Shortly after BLM I started seriously reading theory. At some point I read A People's History of the United States, and the whole corroboration thing came back again. 3 separate sources confirming the same thing about the US, one being an academic professor.
But it's also funny because I say sometimes that I'm the meme where college turned me into a socialist. I hate that I have unpayable debt from it but I also wonder where I would be politically had I not went.
Probably my autism showing but I was getting eugenics-coded in that last comment. Can I get a quick explainer on it being polyphobia? I'm asking in earnest.
I'm terminally online but I'm glad I'm not this terminally online at least. But at least the liberals are trying to speedrun this century's version of Nazi Germany by advocating of suppressing socialism in favor of fascism. I was worried it was gonna take longer.
Cowbee is goated. I don't understand how they stay composed instead of losing their shit in the comments half the time. I wish I could have an ounce of their power.
