Hello, baby Marxist here!
Personally mine was reading.
When I was a liberal I loathed reading and found it hard to even read a short article. I rarely researched everything I heard, and as a teenager, I was like every other liberal, getting my news off social media.
Now I make sure to research everything, however, getting into theory is a bit hard. Most of the information I learned about communism was through fellow comrades, because like before, I got my information from other people’s comments.
Currently I’m restoring my motivation for reading by starting small. Reading long comments from comrades helped a lot. I’ve now moved on to reading information from leftist sources without effort, and I’m starting on reading the communist manifesto.
Enough about me, what were your side effects?
Are you trying to indirectly murder me by making me cringe of my own past?
(That was a joke)
Imagining your main source of ideology was Facebook memes and polandball, and you get half the idea how cringe I was back then.
The past is really a killer 😂🤣
I used to use Tik Tok, then switched to Reddit and thought I was smarter than before. Ohhh the cringe 😭
