2020 semi-annual review (part 2)

I usually try to summarize my learnings in some meaningful way, but I think the heaviness and complexities of the themes make them difficult to condense. I will however say that 2020 marked a massive expansion and evolution of my leftist education and worldview. I hope that compassion, moral clarity, and righteous anger will continue to propel me forward.
