Anarchism

I read Civil Disobedience by Thoreau in I think third or fourth grade? (Yes I was that much of a nerd in third or fourth grade 😆. It was in our class textbook and I was bored by whatever we were supposed to be reading.) I drifted around online individualist and lolbertarian essays in grammar school until I read Kropotkin's Mutual Aid in high school.

I've had several events in my life, the lives of my social circle, and predominantly national and international news that have reinvigorated my anarchism, but I was privileged enough to be able to learn about these things before they actually happened to me. E.g. I supported police abolition before I ever got harassed by a cop.
