Struthless has a really good video about this. I’ve seen it happen to the young men in my life first-hand. To my siblings, my friends, and - yes - even to myself at one point. And that hole is a hell of a lot harder to climb out of than it is to fall into, and I’m very lucky to have had some good, caring people in my life who helped me to do it. An uncomfortable truth that we on the left must face, is that this is an issue that will only get worse the longer we pretend it doesn’t exist.
Thanks for the video, whole-heartedly. I’m an older millennial and don’t really subscribe to youtube channels ever… but I did for that because I wanna be able to find them again. They were refreshing and I appreciate it
Just left a much less succinct version of this same exact sentiment. It really sucks seeing my family indoctrinate their own children, one of which is not severely but not moderately either spectrum. The sad shit I’ve heard come out of his mouth has been truly heart breaking.
Edit; watching that video was very reassuring as someone currently struggling with alcohol addiction. That compass metaphor was so incredibly powerful.
