the reason I was drawn to /pol/ was because of how provocative it was

(it was a lot more thoughtful back then too)

I started browsing a few months ago, before that I’ve heard of it for a year.

I was first exposed to Politics when the 2008 election happened. Back then I didn’t understand anything, and the teachers were telling us to like Obama. My dad always didn’t like him, But thought at first he couldn’t be as bad as he turned out to be.

couldn't escape politics after 2014

the whole world is a choking space now pretty much

I went from being excited over the 2008 election to crying over the 2012 election. When it happened I wanted to shoot Obama at the Inaugural ceremony for some reason.

couldn't stay under the rock for very long

The FBI is coming for me

haha

@Rhodesiaboo will you be old enough to vote in 2020

gotcha, this is really jc mcfedderson and you're all going to guantanamo

My therapist told me one day that one of his other kids hated Trump and wanted to kill him, and got in trouble with the FBI

@Red Storm (in NYC) Yes, I will be

@Rhodesiaboo i wouldn't be surprised that there are a lot of people in Gen Z who are apeshit over Trump

it's mostly right wing

but also very polarized

we had a day where kids brought flags to school

a sort of spirit day type of deal

they're probably learning to be the deranged kind of leftist from their older family members

@Red Storm (in NYC) I’m mad that they don’t celebrate Columbus Day anymore.

this is angering

these people, they're trying to undermine everything we've built, all the traditions

"the pilgrims were racist" "jesus was a communist" "Columbus committed genocide"

They’ll probably turn it into Native’s day and give the day off for Indians.

they're trying to do that

Luckily there are no Indians in my area

doesn't matter

they'll still go at it

Of course

that's really one of the things that got me woken to this system, all the things I enjoyed as a child they're trying to rip apart at the seams

My Area Consists Of Irish, Italians, Croatians, Blacks, Slovenians, A few Mexicans (none of the spic type), Hungarians, And Scandinavians.

fun isn't allowed, your national holidays are racist, give up your country

it pushes you to the tipping point

Of course

My teacher is Slovenian, and she went To Yugoslavia when it was Under Tito in the 70s

what the fuck do a few dozen million loose tribes who war with each other have a claim to an entire continent anyways

I don’t know man

they lost, that's it

They give MLK day off but not Columbus Day

this is the thing
