I Am Awake
Hello, Revleft. I'm not sure what kind of things people usually say in their introductions here, but I'll just go for it. I'm an American currently residing in Germany with the person I love. My life story isn't too interesting - I have a degree in public administration I never got to do anything with, I've done a few unremarkable jobs to get by, as you can guess I had a long distance relationship for awhile which is thankfully no longer long distance.
As to my politics, I spent a lot of my life as "liberal", "progressive", whatever you want to call it, and at a few points I became completely disillusioned with making excuses for slightly less awful versions of capitalists and slightly less oppressive liberal politicians. But in the last year, I've totally given up on all of it. I realized that settling for liberal politics wasn't a matter of growing up or being pragmatic, but really it was betraying what I believe in at my core, and I just won't do that anymore. So I decided to come here and see about talking to like-minded people.
I don't have a label I identify with; I've read a lot of literature though from Erich Fromm to Emma Goldman. But mainly, I just know what I believe. I know I'm sick of seeing innocent lives being destroyed by capitalism, by imperialist warfare, by failed authoritarian drug policies, by a corrupt system of mass incarceration, by racism, homophobia and hate. The so-called "center left" parties of the western world are capitalists and warmongers and aren't deserving of any trust or credibility.
Beyond that, I'm still figuring it all out.
