I am on the precipice of one and don't want that to turn me into a disengaged normies, lib, or chud. I know that a local DSA chapter was financially backed by a person of incredible means, so I wonder what keeps such people left wing or at least SocDem.

Back before I lost my job and fell into destitution I was a reasonably well paid software developer.

Staying aware of what is happening in the world will probably keep you reality checked. Also a well paid job often comes with obscene demands from managers and other bosses, if you are even mildly educated on Marxism you will see how the fuckery manifests in every capitalist environment.

You will have to fight not to be exploited.

You will struggle with the ignorance and/or fear that keeps your colleagues from unionising.

So yeah don't worry about it and good luck.
