it freaks me out a bit how extremely misguided economic opinions permeate so much of media for young people. I watch youtube and people will casually drop anti-landlord, anti-capitalist, etc. sentiment in completely unrelated videos. I really fear for voting shifts in the future
normally i'd think uneducated economic activist opinions is a niche thing and if i'm seeing it then it's probably some selection bias, but it pops up in places i wouldn't expect to see it. And NO sane economic understanding is casually popping up in the same places.
we're headed in an actually fascist direction, not the flashy memeable fascism but the sort that well-meaning people don't realize is fascism, which is by far the most terrifying type
re: a deleted reply
i do admit i'm using 'fascism' loosely. While fascism does seem to include 'ignoring individual interests for the good of the whole' and heavy control over economy, maybe a more accurate term for what i'm saying would be authoritarianism
tho tbf i get the impression that a lot of the younger demographic that's anti-capitalist and anti-landlord are also using 'fascism' to mean a government passing laws that restrict behavior, just in ways they don't like (e.g. abortion, immigration)

as i've gotten to know more high-profile people, most are predictably quite great, but some of them have emotional issues, are mean, or live life in ways that are harmful to others.
im not sure how to handle this professionally? how do u figure out boundaries for association?
there's a lot of cases that are sorta grey area, like I catch a glimpse of something going kinda nasty in their personal life, but it doesn't involve me at all, but now i'm seeing them at a profesh event or maybe should work with them on something and idk how to operate here
like is there some general quiet understanding that yeah, some ppl are shitty in private, but we generally keep acting normal in a separate 'everything is professional, keep personal stuff at home' context, unless the personal stuff gets real egregious?

I was homeschooled for the entirety of my k-12 years, as well as were nearly all the other people i knew. Here's some of the pros and cons (of the specific version I got), how it seemed to work out for my other homeschooled friends, and if I'd homeschool my own kids:
Cons: Your parents have a waaay bigger impact on your life. Good parents or bad parents, your variance is huge. I and some of my friends had abusive parents, and that was not great. Your parents get to control basically all cultural information you're exposed to.
Cultural isolation isn't bad when it's happening, but can be pretty rough once you get out into the world. I remember the moment I asked a bunch of kids who this 'britney spears' was they were talking about. Your slang is diff. What are school lockers? social norms are different

Ppl shit on poly for being explosive but I've been poly for 12 years and it was rough at first but it's really good now. It's an active, thriving delight in my life.
So here's some hard lessons i learned from mistakes, and some unexpected joys
1. don't date people who are partially open to monogamy. this results in partners dating other people who aren't full-throated yes to ENM, and this ends up with subtle grating pressures that have soooo many ways to go wrong. You want your metamours to be glad you're involved
2. fights with your partner can be lonely, cause you're in this isolated ecosystem of intimacy and it's hard to explain to someone else the things that drive you crazy.
having a metamour can relieve this burden so much. you can share your fights with someone else who gets it

i used to be pretty 'traumatized' in the classic sense - nightmares, difficulty sleeping, etc. Over the course of a 1-2 years I managed to fix nearly all of it. I used a lot of techniques - but one thing that was noticeably absent in my healing was psychological narrative. 1/
"My parents did x, now I'm like y", or "I'm really sensitive about this cause I subconsciously view you a parental figure" or "that time my uncle embarrassed me made me feel unsafe around men"
All that type of thinking? Basically completely useless for my healing.
This is n=1, maybe other people get a ton of use out of this stuff - but for me, this type of narrativizing gave me the sensation of something to chew on, like a mild a-ha feeling of control over my stories about myself, and did give me relief via a sense of understanding,

some ppl I know are real fluid in business, agentic financial success, etc., but it took me *so long* to learn this. It was a foreign language.
here's my timeline of constant failures and dumb mistakes:
im a teen in suburban farmland idaho in a lower-middle-class family, house for my family of 5 cost $130k, 1/5 people in the city have any sort of college degree. I'm homeschooled, as well as all my friends. Adults tell me that I can make my own business and im like ok lets do it
I look at what I can do. I like reading and writing, and I like taking photos of things. Maybe I can sell my photography? I take some photos of people and make a lil website. I do cool boudoir/fantasy style pretty-girl photos. Nobody hires me.

i know this isn't quite fair, but part of my brain just doesn't believe that non-fundamentalist christians are christian. My brain goes 'oh isn't that cute, you're larping religion, only deviating from secular culture in a few convenient instances of generic social conservatism'
'yeah, you read the bible and concluded that the way to think, act, and believe was almost exactly like the rest of your modern western secular culture (evolution being real, women's rights, wearing tank tops, etc) with a lil honey drizzle of 'praise jesus' ontop'
'that's not religion, that's toothless religious aesthetic, hollowed out onto a shell of convenient ritual and excuse for community'
