Gaza woke me up tbh. I mean I was already disillusioned before that, like in 2021 I decided I'm not even gonna vote anymore because it doesn't matter, corporations control everything, etc. But when a genocide was all over my newsfeed, I started following the Middle East closely and learning about the history. And I started following the money. Knowing politicians are corrupt is one thing. But seeing babies blown up by U.S. bombs, seeing their grieving parents, seeing traumatized orphans, seeing Congress give Netanyahu a fucking standing ovation while that's all happening... that's what made me realize how truly compromised our government is by Israel and the MIC. How truly evil the ruling class is. And since then, I've kept up consistently and done some political stuff irl that I won't go into bc outing
