my main vector for criticizing an israeli facial recognition tech sales pitch given to my synagogue on our israel trip was "but what about the hong kong protests"
to be fair to myself I was sixteen and like a day later I had the brain break that sent me leftward
oh god I also remember in 2016 I remember thinking "i mean it would be kinda funny if trump won" on election day and when he did I half-sincerely believed for like a day that I manifested it and was self-flagellating for the entire week internally because I thought I had wrought neo-naziism unto the world or something. I was 13 and hadn't killed my solipsistic streak quite yet
