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.

    I view that on the level of people who wear a rolling stones t shirt but couldn’t name a single song.

    But probably less so outside the imperial core.

      I got a Rage Against the Machine Che shirt bc my town is kinda Republican lol, so I hide behind saying im just a big fan of RATM. I do like them but I think wearing a Che shirt without any knowledge of Marxism is silly, infinitely better than wearing Black Rifle Coffee or those USA shirts with the American flag and a gun on the sleeves(unfortunately popular in my area 🤮)

          Lmfao Black Rifle Coffee makes me laugh everytime bc Chapo did a hilarious bit about them. Basically they explained how Black Rifle tried to grift the entire GOP fanbase and when Trump separated the party even a tiny bit the customers complained that they weren’t pro-Trump enough
