I’m with you on hating school. When I stopped going because everything collapsed around me, they basically told me they didn’t want me there either. If I wasn’t such a massive lib at the time (who supported gun control) I might have shot someone.
I’ve been thinking that along with proper staffing and funding, there needs to be a specific sort of deradicalizing program in every school that targets the sort of at-risk people (lonely men aged 15-20 who are likely to join gangs, white supremacist, or incel groups) and tries to integrate them into a healthier community and teach them basic life and social skills without also funneling them into college or the military.
I’m not even against those guys radicalizing as long as it’s into lefties. Radicalizing as an anarchist was probably what stopped me from doing something dumb or going down the alt-right rabbit hole and becoming the bisexual Milo Yiannopolous or whatever.
Like, the cops are scared of anarchists as violent and chaotic, but I think a lot of them have always been that way and anarchism is literally the safest possible outlet, and the one that’s most likely to fix the root issues.
