Comment on What are some ways to fight for socialism from the comfort of your room?

  I’m 21 years old, my older sibling’s taking care of me mostly, but I’m NOT even sure if I see them as a parental figure. My older sibling and I go outside sometimes (mostly for long walks and such - I really like the long walks), and we both actually have autism.

  Although I strongly disagree with my older sibling Jeb when it comes to social issues and such (NOT to mention they called themself “socially liberal, but fiscally conservative”), they still had to take care of me and such. I’ve gotten used to living with my sibling as my caretaker.

    autism

    caretaker

    Oh so its a social-support/safety type of thing? So like its because he’s worried about you?

    I mean I get it

    There’s not much you can do… like you shouldn’t be expected to fix societal issues if you’re stuggling yourself

      My older sibling’s very worried about me, especially if I go outside (because what if there’s some bad people who wants to get me (like in my case ICE Agents given what happened in Minnesota)?). One time when I was a toddler, I tried following a school bus that my older sibling rode on when they went to school, but I got lost, so I had to be driven back home through a police car. That led to that safety thing being put into place.
