We can be radicalized

Granted I only used sh.itjust.sucks because it was the first instance recommended to me. However, it was during the brief time when hexbear was a boogeyman to all that I was exposed to true leftist thought. It took about a month or two of reading yogthuos memes before I read theory

Anyway I thought I'd give a hopepost, I genuinely was a turbolib

I fell into the youtube antifeminist mysognist pipeline as a kid, I grew out of it pretty fast thankfully but I definitely hurt some people with my words in those times. I've worked to make it up to them where I can but it fucks with my head pretty often. I was still very liberal after I grew out of it but not bigoted (as much as a liberal can be). Shockingly it was actually reddit that pulled me out of that pipeline; after I realized I was bi I sought out queer communities on reddit (which I had only just downloaded like a month before this) and found 196 which was pretty far "left" for me at the time. Then I used lemmy and found hexbear. Fuck I really have been raised by the internet, dammit.

lmao i could have written this about myself and it still would be true
