I started somewhat conversative-ish and just went further left the older I got (except for that brief period I went from lib to enlightened centrist) until I landed at communism. It also helps that I am a minority where I live (racial/ethnic, sexuality, neurodiverse) and despite doing everything right, all I got was autistic burnout and having to work twice as hard for half as much. Meanwhile, some idiot rich fuck classmate who never worked a day in their life just coasted by and got everything handed to them on a silver platter.
