My family are mostly Democrat voting liberals and I identified as one for years. When I was in 5th grade I spent more time with my Fox News-watching grandparents and became a Republican for like a year or 2 and became an apolitical lib for a while. From like 2015-2019 I was a Bernie bro who had some objectively shit takes. The biggest 180 I did was probably on the sex trade. I used to be for it as a horny teen like “huh? Did someone say SeX?? Well it’s all ConSeNsUAL so why cockblock someone from getting some PuSsY?” Obviously now I realize that’s a disgusting sentiment and that most people in the industry are not happy and would rather do anything else. Just because a few are happy with their line of work, it doesn’t make it right to force so many others into a position where they feel abused and humiliated or threatened. “Legitimacy of industry” in terms of prostitution always means lining the pockets of abusive pimps (physical or anything else) who will use the opportunity to get rich and usually fund illegal markets (source: Look at Nevada). Enough about me, what topics have become more clear to yall after becoming a communist? I could probably list a few others but I’m interested in seeing what yall say.

    That’s what I like about the Disco symbol, is I can just tell most people it’s from a video game, but those who know will know it’s political meaning.

      I do have a few buttons on my hat that are sort of "if you know, you know". I have the Anarchist black flag, an AnCom flag, and a Anarcha-feminism flag button.

      But I also have a button that says "All Cats Are Beautiful" and no one has picked up on it being an allusion to ACAB.

      I forgot to look up the Disco Elysium symbol until just now and yeah, I can see that definitely working lol.
