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.

    Well for me being a hipster edgelord and liking obscure ideologies helped me being open towards the idea of communism in general, even though all I “knew” about it were bourgeois myths lol. I was at a point where I was desperately trying to make sense of the world, and yet, I couldn’t agree with any of the philosophies I read about. All of them were first-world idealist bourgeois nonsense, which didn’t fit with my own personal experiences as a third-world prole.

      I feel that!
