    I really think my natural empathy saved me.

    Sure, you have empathy and believe in the Mammon of the Free Market.

    I also got pretty far to the left, and it's pretty much the same story. A lot of these people seem to have zero empathy. I remember when this retired black police officer got shot in the back of the head after trying to stop some looters during the riots following the death of George Floyd, and I saw people on Instagram and Reddit celebrate his death because he was a former cop. That inhumanity and savagery rattled me.

    Sounds made up or not understanding who "the left" is, but still died attacking people for capital's profits, showing no empathy for the people needing those products. So, ACAB.

      'cus it's just blog posts. They got into rightwing opinions through Shapiro's youtube blog, they got out. They looked at blog posts on twitter, and decided "the left" isn't for them.

      At no point in this 'journey' did they do anything different besides read different blog posts. The internet has given people the idea that believing something is the same as being something.
