never doubt that people can grow
on the phone with my formerly Libertarian brother yesterday, he told me a story about going to small claims court with one of his wife's post-docs, a Pakistani woman, to make sure she was treated fairly there
and described it as "using my white male privilege for good"
something he would neither have done nor articulated 20 years ago
I'm former libertarian, converted by my mom's final medical bills and helping care for my disabled sister and nephew into a full on social democrat UBI supporting big old liberal
@darwinwoodka in my brother's case I think it was a mix of years of the rest of the family rolling our eyes at him
multiple combat deployments to a stunningly pointless series of armed conflicts
and falling for a brilliant Mexican-American woman, which meant seeing America from a completely different perspective
