I used to be part of that "gently caress yeah science" crowd to the point that I thought political problems could be solved with gadgets and gizmos

Then college happened thankfully

I was a communist and a socialist as a teenager because hey, it'd be cool if we all got together and redistributed wealth so there would be no poverty. Was very anti-establishment and down with the man and boo Capitalism.

Then I got a job, talked to people from actual Communist country and all around just grew up.

Lol I have a job too and still support communism

I'm also a college student so what do I know right?

He was an unemployed dude who couch-surfed at his friend's place for years, though.

Couldn't even keep hold of his nationality, smh.

I almost took this bait

Thanks for not seizing my means of procurement.

It's hard being a fisherman in these trying times.

As a worker your means should rightfully be your own

Communism looked a lot more attractive to me once I found myself working a job where my average weekly revenue generation for the company was larger than my annual wage.

Yeah, this is pretty widespread and bad

I remember once drawing a distinction between feminists and feminazis in class freshman year college. Also had bad opinions concerning affirmative action and the death penalty. To top it off I used to argue that white privileged wasn't a thing because I was white and my family was quite poor. I'm still poor but at least I recognized how stupid I was. Probably for the best that I didn't go through with that engineering degree.

Lol many engineers think like that most their lives, and that's usually the better ones

So, if you can still access that part of your brain, out of curiosity, what just made sense about it? What makes Mr. Limbaugh persuasive?
