I first got into socialism through the DPRK. I got into the DPRK through Boy Boy’s video “We Went to North Korea to get a Haircut” The video made me realize exactly what the US is all about, what it has done, and what it continues to do. As an American, you understand that the US has done bad stuff, but you never actually think about it in terms of the US being the pure evil it actually is.

And from there I really branched out and got where I am today. I went from being a pseudo-conservative that was indoctrinated by SJW videos and other bullshit, to a self-described “centrist” liberal, and finally into a communist. I don’t think I ever actually believed in that bigotry shit; I’ve always been socially intelligent and empathetic. Liberalism was understanding things were bad, but not having the proper analysis viewpoint on the issues to think of actual solutions or change.

Although I was into socialism for around a year, the true death of my liberalism was the 2024 election. I was of course rooting for Kamala, and was upset she didn’t win and that he’d be back, but, I just sort of realized that it was all a sham and, Kamala or Trump, the neoliberal system would be maintained.
