It’s a teenage communists worst nightmare. Here are my classes
AP US History Prep Journaling 201-202 Accounting I Chemistry I (want to change to biology 2)
AP US History Algebra 2 Journaling (Idk what’s to be filled in here, hopefully different) Honors English 3 (Very liberal “independent/moderate” teacher.)
My classes are full of liberals. I cannot stand it, literally. They’re deep in capitalism too. One of the assistant principals came in to talk to us about stocks… I mean, he just randomly bust in there. My journaling teacher thinks the political spectrum is only “conservative and liberal.” He’s on the right side of conservative. And you know US History has bullshit. The English 3 teacher is mostly red but he claims to be independent. He loves to talk about his liberal beliefs. He’s like “Why can’t they elect a good president for once!!! The only one I thought was good was McCain!!” Oh… It’s just a mess…
I thought about it later on in the day… Why am I taking these hard classes if I’m not staying in college? I’m gonna get a trade job, no matter how hard the work is. Anything but somewhere hurting my brain. I can ignore the liberal bullshit but man it’s the people… And we have to have discussions, oh god… Besides, I’m not going to a top college, so no need to be taking all these hard classes and doing all this work. I’m only staying for maybe two years. I just don’t know at the moment honestly… I don’t wanna go to college, but I wanna use it as a way to be free, but if I leave mid-term I wanna be able to leave without any liabilities.
What can we do about this? As someone who has to endure this for two more years is draining. Man it sucks gathering intelligence at a young age. I had to deal with this brainrot since I was eleven…
Do not put forward your knowledge too aggressively, and despite everything, try not to lose face. Take a look at the student who always knows the right answer in maths class and gets derided for being a nerd. In the system, social conformity is an asset while knowledge is a liability, so you have to gain popularity first, and even then, don’t give answers outright but ask suggestive questions. Make one friend you can trust, ideally one who shares some at least socdem beliefs. Spend some alone time with him and let him in. This is the most important step as it will help you keep your sanity. Then try to accrete a widening social circle outside of that friend, but do not depend on them. They will eventually support you in class once you feel comfortable grilling your teachers.
Of course, that is if you actually feel like organising at school. No one will blame you if you don’t. Just make the most out of your remaining time not having to work through the apocalypse.
