So I got dumped in 2014. I discovered Bill Burr's You People Are All The Same standup routine, and for my broken hearted self then, it spoke to me. For those of you don't know, Burr jokes about women unable to have a rational argument, and using cheap debate tricks and emotional ploys to win arguments with men. Sorry, but the place I was in wasn't great. My thinking towards Burr in early 2015 was "OMG this guy is funny", late 2015 was "this is funny, but problematic", then in 2016 "OMG this guy is a fascist".
Another time I randomly found a dating app and profile on a girlfriend's phone when I was trying to connect her phone to the smart TV. There was a 45 minute space of time where I channeled all the hurt I ever felt in my past, and I started to think "yes all women are inherently selfish and deceitful". For that time, I was quite literally open to red-pill ideology. Thankfully I shook out of it. Having a support network to whinge about my pain helped too.
One bazillion percent, the dudes in my life have been worse than the women. Long term misogyny seems impossible.
i definitely went through an edgy atheist phase when i was a young teen, watching all sorts of youtube videos i would cringe at nowadays. i got completely scared out of that once a random video (predictably) went into smearing islam and muslims in general as "dangerous" and "ideas and people who shouldn't be allowed in western society"
pretty much stopped watching that shit overnight because of that. i can't help but wonder how far i would've gone down the rationalist-to-fascist pipeline if i hadn't stumbled onto a video that overt so early
I used to be almost militantly anti-theist and would play Devil's advocate for U.S. imperialism but became interested in Marxism. Just eventually came to the realization that no, religion is not the root cause of human conflict, it's just a convenient smokescreen for the ruling class. There are people who would kill for God(s), but they're almost invariably radicalized by material conditions and goaded by imperialists with completely irreligious interests.
