I remember in 8th grade I was very capitalist and conservative, or so I thought. We were learning about the inequality behind the Olympics and at one point she asked the class to raise their hand if they would prefer that the “1%’s” wealth be redistributed so the poor suffer less. Only me and one other raised our hands lol. She said “congratulations. You two are socialists.” It’s lib as hell but still got me thinking about what I actually value vs. what I think I valued.

She also happily - smiles and all - recounted a story where her professor said the US deserved 9/11 as it was happening, and she didn’t follow it up with telling us that her professor was wrong for saying it lol.
