I’m at such an intersection of privilege that I don’t think I considered politics in any meaningful way until my early 20s when I got hit with the libertarian propaganda and realized that maybe the police and army are political actually.
I always hear of people doing such great work and being so political in their teenage years ago I wonder if it’s more common for someone to not engage in politics until adulthood line myself or if it’s truly just my position in life that allowed me to be ignorant for so long.
I remember buying a shirt with “fuck politics I just want to burn shit down” when I was around 17 and honestly edginess was I think my entire ideology at the time
Started really thinking of it around 14 and started reading liberal theory. Was reading Kropotkin, Malatesta and shit by 16 and became an anarcho-communist. Read Lenin and then Marx in my early 20s
How does one care about things like that at such a young age? If it wasn’t related to StarCraft or Slipknot I didn’t care
I was a nerd, like the kind who liked homework. Though I did also care about Slipknot and StarCraft. I got to Masters in SC2 :)
I was a local LAN party monster for brood war. Sc2 I never took as seriously but I hover between plat and masters whenever I go back
Damn you retain your skills well. I doubt I’d be better than silver if I tried to play again lol.
Having the “I have to spend all my resources and queue units as little as possible” mindset would get you to gold unless you forget all the hotkeys. Sc2 leagues are roughly a percentage of the ladder population so gold is essentially the median skill level.
