"who radicalized you" my kindergarten teacher for forcing me to sit in front of the whole class during the "if you're happy and you know it" song and smile and clap my hands, as a punishment for not clapping my hands because I was not happy (and i knew it) and we had just received a classroom lecture about not fucking lying.

next.

"who radicalized you" ever since i was a child i wanted other people to be treated nicely and fairly because i didnt understand why theyd deserve otherwise and it fills me with disgust seeing how people treat their fellow human beings sometimes

#lifelong problem with authority unlocked at age 5 #it was an absolutely pivotal moment and i am not even kidding #people in authority cannot be trusted with your well being and will punish you for not performing to their satisfaction #and use that punishment as a threat to your peers #nobody who has power over you can be trusted to care about YOU more than the pleasure their unchallenged authority gives them #also they stole a book from me because they didn't believe i owned it or could even read it because it was advanced and expensive #they legit accused me of stealing it from the library despite it not having markings #when my parents asked them about it they said they didn't know anything about it and that i had just lost it and was lying #i don't know which of those assholes took it for their own kid but i guarantee that is what happened #so yeah #i learned i had no value to them and only had the power that my parents had #(also beating children was allowed in this school and was done where other kids could hear it to terrorize us and that is STILL LEGAL HERE)#(40 YEARS LATER)#i fucking hated school and i hate the way this society is structures for the same exact reasons
