Have their estranged parent move in with them for two years because said parent is dying. Let them experience how every facet of our western social contract fails while changing adult diapers and feeding an extra mouth, with the added joy of trying to stay employed and raise a toddler!
I was pretty much a regular liberal in a former life, I would even dare say centrist. And then the above happened to me and I've seen first hand what's waiting for most of us when we're no longer useful to capitalism. Get fucked with any supposed nuanced ideas of liberal incrementalism and voting for the right Dems, and go read some theory. Then ponder, what is the Western answer to global warming, homelessness, and/or any human challenge not associated with making (someone else) money?
After that, welcome to Hexbear.
