There is a lot of answers but if I'd say just one it would be rejecting the current institutional power. At least right now in our time period. Fully rejecting the imperial state, no matter how much they potentially benefit from it seems like a solid transition
we are all lib so let's not gatekeep what leftist™️ actually is. I guarantee you were a lib once too(still are, but once too.)
For me it was climate change, and systemic analysis of its causes. You can't have infinite growth on a finite planet
I agree that this is the most pressing contradiction in capitalism. Climate optimists have such big megaphones though it's really tough to use that as the fulcrum.
Yeah it's wild to me. One of my coworkers left to "focus his career on fighting climate change " but that turned out to mean "building electric car infrastructure" and not blowing up oil pipelines...
This, it’s the biggest contradiction under capitalism. There is no way to escape the line of reasoning that at some point in the future, our current mode has to change. It’s what was the tipping point for myself and a couple of my friends
Yeah I can personally attest to seeing the radical change many climate activists can go through when realizing the people with power have absolutely zero will to try and mitigate one of the most important possible things. Especially within the last few years with covid and seeing how there isn't much hope in getting them to do the right thing. There is no illusion now that meaningful change is around the corner. It's grim, I battled with depression over this exact thing cause of how devastating it truly is.
