It's easy to be borderline socialist when you're young and impressionable. Professors telling you to check your privilege, student rallies for equality, politicians promising you "hope' and 'change'. Then suddenly you have job, and the world you thought you knew so well, no longer matches that guise. You're cynical, you're unnoticed, and you hate that you are a part of something you once hated so much. Suddenly, you're not so okay with giving more money than you think you earned, suddenly your family is more important than a less fortunate criminals, suddenly you are mad as hell that anyone would threaten what you alone made for yourself, through hard work, hard times, and pure motivation.
