What were your wrong turns in life?

What was wrong about them and what were the lessons learned?

What would your X year old self tell your Y year old self and / or, what would you tell up and coming Millennials and eventually, Homelanders. A few Homelanders are now approaching tweenerhood, which is typically where wrong turns start to happen. Some of my earliest wrong turns happened when I was 9.

For me it was gravitating toward Marxism when I was 13.  Since then I can't say that I've made all that many wrong turns other than making poor choices in friendships but those always and inevitably end up ending, though sooner now than later and that failing is universal.

I would say to my younger self, and to Millies and Homelanders to not expect the political system to be capable of addressing social issues.  In a democratic republic the so-called leaders are the ultimate followers.  Rather build up the metapolitic base first then concern yourself with capture of political office.  It is only by addressing the culture that one can address political issues. 

Identity --> Culture --> Politics
