I am on the precipice of one and don't want that to turn me into a disengaged normies, lib, or chud. I know that a local DSA chapter was financially backed by a person of incredible means, so I wonder what keeps such people left wing or at least SocDem.
Being closer to money has helped me see how fucked up the bean counters really are. Thankfully, I'm lucky to be in a position where a lot of my day to day work is being actively adversarial to environmental degradation caused by capitalism.
