I have a similar story. I’m glad you grew up, and I hope adulthood is treating you well!

Apytele@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoUnfortunately I believed the whole states rights thing until at least early highschool but I’m actually not sure exactly where that ended. My childhood memories are full of holes and every time I manage to remember something I wish I hadn’t so I mostly just leave them alone now.

Yeah I like the guy who was like “well I was a socialist in the fifth grade!” yeah I wasn’t raised by actual neo-nazis but I was raised in their territory by people who didn’t actually completely disagree so good for you do you want a fucking sticker?

They brought in a special teacher for my AP US history, straight from the Masonic lodge i figure.
Made the usual teacher, a liberal guy, take a sabatical year.
Thanks secret government assholes.

I wanted to dismantle the state for a socialist ideal in at least middle school. I didn’t like punk until freshmen year of high school though, so we all go through changes even if my politics have mostly stayed the same.
