Never was full fash, but was pretty deep into the right wing libertarian stuff in my mid to late teens.
Definitely started getting fed the typical alt-right algorithm pipeline, “leftists triggered” compilations, Sargon, Steven Crowder, Jordan Peterson, etc.
A few things shook me out of it:
Went to University, got exposed to different perspectives and people.
Started dating somebody who was open-minded and would gently but effectively challenge my views.
Graduated and started having to pay off student loans, food, rent, got treated like trash at my first job and saw how Capitalist hierarchy screws people over unless you’re the owner.
It wasn’t a quick switch that flipped for me. It was a slow, gradual series of realizations that my worldview just didn’t make sense and didn’t line up with reality.
