Srsly, though, I don't think anyone has a really good explanation for why people arrive at such different places, but it legit could be butterflies and typhoons stuff. Like one house watches football, the other watches, idk, whatever libshit kids cartoons have secret revolutionary messaging. Someone makes friends with a queer person, someone doesn't.
The thing about nature vs nurture is that people always imagine "nature" to be genetic instead of whatever random chemical bullshit happened in the womb while your brain was growing, and "nurture" to be Important Conversations with your parents and teachers instead of that one time you overheard some phrase that you completely misinterpreted because you were five and fully incorporated that misinterpretation into your worldview for years. But the total quantity of random bullshit outweighs the "important" parts by orders of magnitude.
I'm not going to be some "radical freedom" advocate here.

Attention, people of Bikini Bottom! You have been cheated and lied to! The gentle laborer shall no longer suffer from the noxious greed of Mr. Krabs! We will dismantle oppression board by board!

Word. Well said.
yeah people way overestimate the degree of determinism embodied in DNA.
Gene expression (epigenetics) are half, probably more, of the story.
Allow me to explain to Hexbear the hidden Marxism of Dragon Ball. As you see....
Wasn't Frieza's primary villain motivation to pave over entire planets for real estate reasons?
Yup. IIRC, Toriyama literally based him off a real estate 'developer'
I remember when Namek itself was being assessed by Frieza's computers and one of the attributes stated was "parking space: abundant."
I think a lot of young artists had their radicalizing moment with the economic crisis of the 80s and 90s in Japan
