I remember there were polls about it, but I cannot find them.
This one user is convinced the users here are literally below the age of highschool. I’m 25 myself and remember seeing people above the age of my parents posting, so I wonder if there’s information on the ~population across ages.
I wish it made me a leftist overnight. It didn’t.
I did have extremely naive beliefs about how I had a right to free speech and to organize and assemble peacefully, and that the police were there to protect us while we did it. Those beliefs ended that day.
I mean yeah. I say I was radicalized by the Mike Brown wave of BLM but I still held on to a lot of liberal beliefs for a long time so its not entirely true. I just source that as the starting point.
It still chills my blood remembering how many BLM leaders disappeared or were “suicided.”
I need to read more on this, where did you get it from?
There’s a fair bit out there but there’s no one centrally reliable source.
