Personally, I was a left liberal for all my life, but had kinda looked into the abyss of anti-sjw and gamergate stuff, like watching Sargon and Bearing, but hadn't really subscribed to their beliefs, more putting them on as background chatter.

Things changed when I read manufacturing consent, listened to Chomsky and found Chapo at around the end of 2018, at which point I found myself as more an ancom, but Chomsky's talking points on Leninism and the USSR was never as cogent and didn't make as much sense as his other points, so I held skepticism about my beliefs then.

Reading more on theory and history, and looking more into different left tendencies via channels like Rev Left moved me over to be a Marxist, as it made the most sense to me in explaining the current and historical situation. Currently making my way through Lenin and looking more into historical ML states and I've found that I'm pretty comfortable as just a Marxist with ML tendencies rn.

    For real.

    The only reason a smaller number of Christian extremists are doing petty bombings and shit, is that they already own the world and more crucially, already own the nukes. They can already just say so-and-so has oil and commit genocide on a massive scale.

    We have the same phenomenon as ISIS here, and that's Apocalyptic Christians digging deeper and deeper into upper levels of government. They want to start a nuclear war to kill almost everything on the planet. Wahhabis don't even want to do that.

    They are also trying to expand Israeli domination of Jerusalem because they think they are tricking the Jews into killing themselves. Once the temple gets rebuilt, a lot of evangelicals are going to get reallllll fucking restless.
