Maybe because all the queer kids and socialists were extremely closeted.

This must be the Gen Z high school experience. The most radical my high school ever got were social liberals who thought FDR was the best thing ever. Queer people were found almost exclusively in the drama or theater clubs.

Amazing how a little bit of social time with friends and neighbors can reveal the secret radical in each of us.

most of my high school became far-right liberals

You must have a very tight knit high school. I have no earthly idea how most of my class turned out.

:-p Ah, I'm from Texas. Definitely a different set of problems.

Although, in my experience, native islanders are often more interested in leaving than in settling in as far-right liberals.

I am a settler, so i am stuck with the other settlers

the book settlers was completely right, you can never have a revolution from the oppressor clique, these people become nazi sleeper agents the moment they pass middle school

Eh. It was very heavy and dry.

For all the screaming hysteria about rising crime and violence, I haven't seen much of a will to power in any of my Euro-Amerikan neighbors. Violence is what the police are for. Everyone else just cowers in their homes and posts frantically to NextDoor. The idea that a bunch of aging suburbanites are going to metasticize into legions of armed brown-shirts? Eh. Even the Jan 6ths weren't particularly well-armed. They certainly aren't fighting fit.

i went to school in south florida and almost our entire baseball team was gay

at first it was like one of those homophobic jokes like, "if you are into sports play football and if you are gay play baseball" kinda thing youd say in the late 90s but in reality our baseball team was actually legit like 80% gay. they would all hang together and kiss and lay in each others laps and stroke their hair in the halls and in hindsight i was kind of envious because most straight kids werent enjoying this kind of intimacy on a daily basis so to the gay baseball kids who went to northeast high in oakland park i wanna say i hope yall are living your most fabulous life now
