Hey, i agree. And i would say that i was one of those people when i joined lemmy.
I was apolitical because i was clueless but leaned towards liberal only because that was the default political sentiment around me. I hope that makes sense, I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It's like i knew something was very wrong with society but honestly couldn't pinpoint anything.
I left reddit and came to lemmy because i was on the piracy sub and the top mod recommended everyone move to lemmy.
And that's kind of how i found hexbear first, and then lemmygrad. Some people complained about hexbear and i thought let me check out what they're complaining about. I went through a few posts and i was honestly thunderstruck. Here are people that feel exactly the way i feel and can actually explain to me why I'm feeling that way and exactly what's wrong with everything around us.
I won't lie, it did take a lot of reading of posts to shed myself of the default liberal way of looking at things.
So that's my perspective of coming from a liberal way of thinking. You guys do good work. I know i have a long way to go but i just started reading the communist manifesto and one of Noam Chomky's books. And my copy of "The east is still red" is on it's way to me. So you did make a difference, to me at least.
Also @ExotiqueMatter, you might not remember a comment you made to me a few months ago i think, it might not have seemed like much but it sort of made me happy and encouraged lol. Thanks for that.
Glad to have you here. Since you're already reading some books I'd also recommend Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti.
Thanks for the recommendation! I've always been more of a book person so the recommendation is highly appreciated.
Exactly my experience with the old Chapo Trap House subreddit
Glad to have you here, comrade
Thanks, happy to be here :)
Which comment was that btw?

I think it's this comment thread. I was very frustrated at the time because of being called tankie because i gave a different viewpoint.
