And for those who need to hear it because a lifetime of neoliberal propaganda has them thinking caring for themselves is self indulgent because if it's not comodifiable and marketable it's a waste of your time
Audre Lorde: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
And just in case we still have doubters, here's how Ralph Waldo Emerson put it “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
Now please go forth and work on the greatest accomplishment/ act of political warfare of your life. Be the human magic we all need to truly be free within ourselves, remind people it's possible by being the change we need and wish to see in the world

Funny. I keep hearing people declare that conservative attitudes are neoliberal or woke.

Well neoliberal makes sense seeing as
ne·o·lib·er·al·ism: noun a political approach that favors free-market capitalism, deregulation, and reduction in government spending.
Which sounds about right ... wing in America
But woke? That dog don't hunt monsignor. Woke is counter mainstream which they've been trying to conserve since before the 50s. Im interested to hear what people think is woke that conservatives are doing, please tell me
