Being engaged in politics and activism left me depressed and cynical, so I'd rather trade the last 15-20 years for a carefree life. I know, fuck me, but I neither changed anything nor did anything good for me personally come out of this.
Carefree doesn't mean wealthy. And getting wealthy in 15-20 years necessarily involves fucking up the life of people in the process so... very much yes, fuck you, as you say.
