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.

    China uncensored made me become an ML Lmao.

    Ive watch lots of china uncensored (and also xenophobic media) that made me became anti-china (and xenophobic, thank god ive gone away with that) so bad back then. And then i wonder ‘how the fuck does these genocidal bat soup CCP (slurs) have so much power’. Ive digging into how the CPC and china works… then… ive came across marxist.org and show me all of the CPC stuffs… and you goddamn know ive read all of it, and also stumble accross the r/Genzedong subreddit and other ML subs… which slowly… slowly made me realized that ALL of the stories and videos about china from the west is all just…

    BIG. BULLSHIT.

    And also it learn me how racism is fucking wrong and just messed up. So yeah ive got to thanks falun gong propaganda for making me an ML lol

      I used to watch China Uncensored back when I was in high-school, and I still feel incredibly shitty for ever having taking him seriously.
