Lately I've gotten heavily invested in current US politics.
After 27 years on this Earth, living a life devoid of financial responsibility, for the first time I am financially forced to hold down a job so I can pay my rent.
If I can't make my rent money by May, I'll be homeless. I've checked out different lines of work, and came out of them angry and disgusted at how much employers want to take advantage of their workers, paying dogshit wages and begging for overtime. It just angers me. We are not people to these greedy sons of bitches.
It is not difficult to understand why many might seek change. Now more than ever the people feel the weight of the decisions from those in power. As civil unrest grows... so does the chance of a revolution. Only coordinated violent measures would truly change things. I would gladly participate as I believe the cause to be just, I have never been politically invested before this time around.
So even if you likely cannot control the future outcomes of our society, taking the time to understand how the world works and how that affects you, is something a man should be knowledgeable about imo.
