I think one of the best personal growths i've had as a leftist is not being afraid to be harshly critical or even letting go of respect towards people i formally idolized or at least respected when they do stupid shit. i still can't believe that when i identified as a liberal i jumped through mental gymnastic hoops defending the shittiest democrats, or would just fall back on 'but republicans worse.' Politicians should not ever be people you relentlessly defend when valid criticism is thrown at them.
Anyway, hope you all are having a good new year so far. i'm getting some doomer vibes 2021 will be much worse than 2020 lol.
I've learned to let go of idolizing anyone and it's been remarkably freeing. why look to heroes to lead us? there's so much work to do.
yup that's pretty much how i feel. like i look at people i was heavily influenced by and have learned to just idolize their good actions, ideas and/or ideals.
