I was still a dumb lib back then. But my radicalization has really peeled opened my eyes to my part in continuing colonialism in Africa and imperialism in the Middle East.
But if I had never served, a lot of the understanding I have would not exist. Or how the military functions and how fucked up and clueless everyone is. Or how so many are working class being recruited for the basic conditions we as leftists want for everyone. Housing, job, sense of purpose, food, etc.
Just hard tackling all of this stuff and thoughts sometimes.
try to get in touch with leftists irl and teach them self defense stuff
I’ve joined the SRA, but since the outbreak started I’ve not been able to go to any socials or meetups. Plus I work 3rds so I sleep in the day.
