When you began to see the world differently ? (I mean politically, ideologically and morally wise)

[gang weeder]

It's super gay to say Gaymergay made you right wing but it has a degree of truth for me. I was mostly apolitical up until then, more interested in playing vidya or hanging out with friends or whatever. And no one I interacted with cared much about poolitics either. If political disagreements did happen, they were usually light-hearted and brief, and there was never any hard feelings over them.

Then came Gamergate, along with some other gay LARPing like the first BLM type stuff. Shaun King pulled those stunts at whatever university he went to and such. This was the first time that I was really exposed to social justice ideology. It repulsed me immediately. I instantly thought, wow, that shit is such fucking cancer it isn't even funny. I was now political not necessarily because I believed in anything in particular, but I just really really fucking hated SJWs, and I was against that.

Everything else sort of continued on from there, the more I learned about where this SJW shit came from, the more I understood about the way of the world, so to speak.

I think in middle school I was on the cusp of becoming a raging leftist, like I had some teacher that was super into talkin about the Trayvon Martin case and I actually agreed with her *shudder*. But also I had read the communist manifesto and to me at the time I was like "yeah everything should be fair, why the hell don't we have don't we do that?" Also I watched TYT on youtube and didn't realize that Cenk was a water buffalo. I think as a middle schooler Cenk is kinda persuasive, which I think tells ya about any adult that listens to him.

High school is when I flipped around, I think because I started going onto stuff like /r/cringeanarchy, seeing what leftists were like, and getting fuckin sick of people online telling me that I was inherently racist for being white.

For me it was 2002-2003, watching the slow-motion walk into invading Iraq on claims that never made sense, but could not be publicly criticized. Very much like COVID. A little later it was the Democratic Convention in 2004, when Obama made that boring, boilerplate speech, and the entire corporate media spent a week talking about how great it was, looking like they were cumming in their pants, and knowing that it had already been decided that he was the next President and the clowns were just selling the new product.

After that everything political and corporate looked embarrassingly fake to me, and anyone who acted like it was real just seemed pathetic. Like that fat guy who says, "it's still real to me, dammit" about professional wrestling.

 

[Da Grim Reaper]

I have realized that Democracy as we know it is not democratic after seeing that in every single country, from West to East, the script is always the same.
The media spreads fear mongering, division happens, families are broken, boomer retard is elected, nothing ever changes, the media profits from the same division they have made, repeat, repeat, repeat.
You can only participate in this retarded meaningless popularity contest 2 times in a decade, and instead of people actually making "their President" (which, btw, they were actually chosen by your local oligarchs, all you have done is leave your house and "vote") accountable, they defend their wrongdoings and start blaming the other 49%.

Democracy, Fascism, Anarchism, Socialism, Capitalism, Communism and etc are all a bunch of foreign imports. All of those thoughts, ideologies, and systems are not compatible with some countries due to historical and material divergences.

Y’all sound like such pick-mes. “Ooh I’m so different! I’m not like the other kids, I think blacks are subhuman and trannies need to die in a fire!”

Have you considered that these are not really unique or novel ideas? That they are actually really old ideas, served you with a gloss of newness to make them appealing to you? Or that getting red pilled by Gamergate (lmfao) really says more about you than it does about the controversy itself?

Racism and sexism aren’t new ideas, and a lot of you got “woke” to these ideas over what seems like petty slights.

Grow up and wake up. Being a bigoted POS isn’t nearly as unique or interesting as you think it is.

^ What a redditor lmfao

Anyway I became aware of race in third-grade when two black boys tackled me & tried to stomp my head in during recess because some black girl said I made fun of her hair or something. When the adults investigated they found out she didn't even know my name & we didn't even go to the same classroom. She asked her friends to try to kill me for no reason & they just obliged blindly. Back then things were sane so her parents were made to apologize & in the middle of the school year that entire family moved to a more niggerish town. Looking back I think the klan paid them a visit somehow. From then on I vowed to always shit-talk niggers because they'll try to murder you regardless.

Going to left-wing ciclejerks and reading what they have to say among themselves made me dislike the left and consider them to be victims of politicians and social media.

Soon after I broke off from my only troon friend (who was also leftwing), somehow I started seeing the truth of the world. All the shit they'd been feeding me was a lie. Manipulation. It wasn't an eye-opening fueled by hatred. I just started looking at alternative news sources and realizing that maybe not everything the left said was true. I hate hypocrites and liars more than anything else, so seeing the hypocrisy and the lies of the left was like being told santa wasn't real before I was ready to accept it. That feeling of betrayal hurt. I've noticed the right wing lie and manipulate words much less frequently. Both sides lie but one more than the other.

Now, seeing how much the left lie, I don't think I could ever trust anything they say again without multiple sources from non-left establishments.

A person who never sees the world differently is someone who has a fundamentally closed mind.

found the nigger lol

I knew niggers were different in kindergarten when I was around them for the first time in my life. They were comparatively stupid and ill behaved. They even smelled different.

I was not yet 6 years old and I realized all that on my own.

Approaching the age of 40, my opinion of them has not changed.

Not to PL but I’m definitely not a nigger. But a grown man whose worldview is guided by opinions he made at. 5 years old… he’s an idiot.

 

[Dyn]

This entire thread reads exactly like a 15 year old who just read Karl Marx for the first time and can't understand why nobody else has the world all figured out like he does.

Except instead of communism it's just seething about niggers.

 

[Lemmingwiser]

found the nigger lol

nah, you found someone who blogged about gamergate and is apparently still seething about it:

Maybe so, but you are stanning for niggers, making you a wigger.

Hi Margaret. lol

Late stage edit> I freely admit I don't know jack shit about gamergate because I don't play video games and don't really care, but at least I don't have my own ED article and my own thread on the Farms. - that alone speaks for itself.

You’re really mad I called you an idiot when you freely admit you’re a racist cause you think black people smell funny?

Change your diaper, if you can do it yourself

The seeds were planted in the early/mid 2000s when I started college. I was a pretty liberal leaning guy before then, but that period started opening my eyes to how batshit that side would become. Even then they were starting in with the whole “language is a social construct!” routine. I got raked over the coals in one class where we had to grade each other’s essays, and the one I was reading was nothing but bixnood and old internet “leet speak” my red pen was busy. The professor called me out as subscribing to white/racist ideas of language and that the essay was every bit as professional as one written by a student who valued their time and didn’t write like an illiterate ape. The professor in another class would praise and highly grade students who simply answered with some form of “Bush bad!” “Americans are Nazis!” and severely downgrade anyone who tried offering a counterpoint, even if just a Devil’s Advocate counterpoint.

Once the early 2010s came, and the SJW/wokeisms starting gaining full swing (no need to go into specifics, they’ve already been covered) I couldn’t keep calling myself a liberal and feel good about myself anymore. It was all like an episode of The Twilight Zone, they had become everything they claimed to be against, and I was now the goose-stepping Nazi according to them, despite barely having changed my political outlook since my teen years. Ban everything! Censor everything! Walk on eggshells constantly! They really started to remind me of the fundies in the 80s who thought Dingeons & Dragons would lead to devil worship and rock music was putting satanic hidden messages in their songs, and the biggest problem I feel is they have ZERO self awareness of what they’ve become, or if they do they just don’t care, both scenarios equally alarming to me.

I disavowed myself from the left around 2014/2015. I don’t really belong to any political party now, as they all have their own major set of problems, but gun to my head I’d say libertarian comes closest to where I stand. I carefully research and look over every ballot, measure and politician each election season. I vote for what I think would benefit America as a whole, regardless of partisanship rather than just blindly voting blue no matter who like so many liberals I know do. I have some left wing opinions and I have some right wing opinions. It sickens me how polarizing and vitriolic politics has become recently, and I would love to get to a point where people could have civil debates and honest discussions without it turning into a tribalistic shit-flinging mess. Pipe dream I’m sure, but there I am.

Morally? Morally speaking, I’ve NEVER wavered. I was raised by my Mawm, in Maine where there’s some decency.

As far as my worldview, trust in institutions, in ideals like “justice”? I can tell you the exact date I lost faith in the media and in the so-called “justice” system. My 37th birthday, Oct 18, 2007.

 

[Male Idiot]

The moment I researched things when I was a teenager, a good 20 years ago.

I commited the initial sin, the misstep, the worst thing that the racist, evil white can do.

I listened to my pattern recognition and started noticing. I did not like what I found, and while I know it is futile, I'll try to keep it far away from me, contained to the west.
