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.
You may be joking but that was actually my first exposure to communism at all because his face was plastered on everything when I was a kid (it still is to some extent). I asked my parents who that guy was and looked him up, thought he was pretty cool then forgot about him for years.
