    Hearing this from a 14 year old basically admitting, "I don't have a soul" is pretty disturbing. These are the kids who become Peter Thiels if they're successful and school shooters if they aren't.

      Eh, they're most likely just a fucking nerdy kid who wants to feel distinct and superior to their peers, so they wound up with a "neoliberal" identity through contrarianism.

      I knew a kid in middle school and high school who used a briefcase instead of a backpack and always wore dress slacks and a tie. He started organizing for Mitt Romney during the 2008 primaries before we graduated lol

        Mitt was a bro in 2008, he was the first politician that talked about universal Healthcare that I heard of. But then he got weird and turns out he wears magical underwear so its a hard pass now.

          Losing the primary in 2008 probably had something to do with him turning more to right wing ghoul. I wasn’t politically literate in 2008, so I don’t remember him being anything more than a flip flopping, concern trolling cog, lol.
