people who actually get shit on neoliberal policies are the kinds of people we should be reaching out, not some shithead named Dave Bavelhoff who owns a jetski repair shop.

    Because everyone online is obviously similar to me and people in my circles, I assume we were all middle-class white millenials who identified as either left/liberal or socially-liberal-fiscally-conservative until either random curiosity or a growing awareness of the gulf between the world society promised and the world observed prompted a first real attempt to engage with politics in a meaningful way.

      My family is mostly white, middle class anti-semites. My little sister is possibly redeemable, but my grandparents are liberals, their kids are both Fox news chuds, my cousins are mostly apolitical/libertarian, one is an outright nazi, another is a single issue anti-abortion bro because he can't get laid and his first girlfriend was an evangelical (he was kinda raised that way too, his brother is the nazi). My brother's a "South park has the best ideology" moron. Been trying for 6 years to get him to see the light, but he always just reverts to "nothing really matters and it was probably the Jews" but pretends like he's joking.

      So we exist! Definitely the exception though.
