In a nutshell, mine would be:
- “My favorite color is red. Imma look up economic systems. Wait, what is socialism? Hey! The socialists like red! Oooooooh, their books are also red! I’m sure that these will be good reads-”
- A few hours later
- “Huh, I’m an ML now. I regret nothing.”
Though, I’m just asking what was the dumbest reason you get radicalized left-wards.
In 2019: Who’s this Tito guy everyone talks about non-stop? Omg this moustache man saved us from Germany in WW2!!! USSR best country it’s not yours it’s ours, vodka, bears, Slav squat, kazotsky kick, earrape anthem I’m so funny👌🤣
Wait a minute, what if there is more in this ideology? What if I actually read into it… Welp the bearded man was 100% right and I want to kill all the rich and destroy USA and Europe NOW!
That’s the evolution, funny thing is, in 2017 I wondered: what if there was no religion, it’s unfair that there are so many rich people while half of the normal population can’t afford basic needs and why do we must listen to bad governments, who don’t we overthrow them? Turns out there is a whole ideology based around it. Even tho then I was kind of an anarchist then(I didn’t know the term and ideology for it, my views were like that of anarchism). And here I am. From cringe to based in a few years.
I’ve seen a bunch of posts on /r/anarchism where they were like:
“I became a tankie to piss off my siblings / parents. Was one for 2 years. Once I learned about how authoritarian the USSR was I became an anarchist”
Its all just ideology shopping to be contrarian, while doing none of the reading or actually learning what its about.
