I was a slow process over many years going from chuddish to liberal to Bernie bro. Then I found the Chapotraphouse sub and it got more and more progressive from there. Then they banned Chapo and I was in stupidpol for a bit because I didn’t know of too many other subs. Then I found hexbear and genzedong sub. Somewhere in there I was in the “I’m a socialist but communism bad” stage for a while. Probably that was before genZ and hexbear. Then I watched yellow Parenti and… It just changed everything. It all sort of clicked. It all came together and I honestly cried a little bit when I watched it repeatedly trying to memorize everything he said. Since then I just learn and watch and absorb more and more.
