>>412823>Can't imagine why healthy, well-adjusted young men wouldn't want to share a political milieu with insane troons, adventurist bourgie anarkiddies, weird anti-white diaspora MLs, 'gay liberation' types, drug users, mentally ill feminists, sexual perverts, fat people, etc etc.t. person whose view of what "the left" is comes exclusively from SJW owned compilations and making fun of 14 year old picrew avatar anarchists on twitter
youve accidentally given a really good answer to OPs question. its a lot easier to get radicalized through making fun of people who you see get called "the left". you see some stupid buzzfeed articles, make the 239052957th attack helicopter joke, you see your local news constantly talk about immigration, laugh at stonetoss making fun of those stupid lefties, until you hear him mention how the jews or whoever is behind it all. depending on how far removed from reality you are at that point, you buy into it. its a slow process and all you need to start is laughing at literal strawmen.
being radicalized into the far left is fundamentally different, since it takes most people a while to make the realization that the economic system we all took for granted is fundamentally working against us.
your answer is truly revealing. for you (or us) young kids just getting into politics via youtube, instagram and later 4chan, its not about any real struggle, fight for liberation, or real material change, its about wanting to be associated with le based epic and edgy frogposters who seem to push boundaries, and not with those cringy buzzfeed feminists or "no food 10000 million dead venezuela" commies.
if you, like most zoomers, get into politics like this, you can spend years identifying with some political affiliation because you think theyre cool, owning the libs and have funny memes, without ever getting even remotely close to understanding your actual opposition, who are not buzzfeed or washington post writers.
