from my experience and from the experience of others this isnt just some like "in 3 months i went from being a nazi to being a communist" kinda thing, this is like a multi year deal. like i know i can't speak for everyone, but for me it went apolitical as a kid>weird libertarian/ancap in middle school>"i'm not a nazi, buuut..." i in freshman year>basic bitch lib in sophomore>full on communist in senior year. I know it may seem like theres not that much of a gap, but keep in mind that the majority of people here are like in our 20's and developing as a teenager in the internet age is a fucking nightmare lmao
