I think the first step on my path to anarchism: attending the ACLU national conf at 16 and asking RBG a question in a post keynote Q&A. Her being so dismissive of the idea that something could be happening when I was pretty sure I saw it from my little queer friend group was idolization shattering.
Something like:
Me: I see the American flag claimed more and more by further right wing segments of the American people, do you worry that this could cloud its meaning as a symbol of justice and freedom (I know.)?
RBG, in a voice of contempt that someone would even ask that: "Definitely not"
