In all honesty it wasn't until getting into public health in college and into the healthcare realm with my job that structural racism really clicked for me and I went "holy shit this is all so fucked" from there I then dove into leftism and that helped me parce into a lot more (even though I still got lots to learn). It's this kind of learning that is what makes the right so fucking scared of CRT (not the memed kind but actually parcing apart outcomes and interactions with a racial lens to realize how that creates unjust laws and systems).
exactly what radicalized me. i took a medical sociology course and realized that amerika was incredibly fucked (i kind of had an idea before then and was a bernie bro in high school, but this led me down the path of learning abt the systemic ways in which the west is a horrific place). stopped wanting to be a doctor after that class lol
Yeah for me it was doing nursing externship work and regular work, especially in elder care and community hospitals. So much of what goes on could be easily fixed with just basic internal system reforms let alone national healthcare (people suffering from uncontrolled diabetes due to not being able to afford insulin, people being unable to afford heart medications, affording physical therapy, the list goes on and is a murder of a thousand cuts by a system that has refined itself into the perfect method of extracting money from corpses).
