"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I was an "Anarcho-Capitalist" one time. The main thing was that, in bigoted opinions, I didn't necessarily agree with them, but didn't see them as a problem. The main channel was PragerU, and I specifically watched the video talking about public schools being misandrist because I was a school kid, and I was learning about all these topics that I couldn't do anything about.
Really, I had an... Obamanist (since it wasn't left-wing, but not right-wing in the usual way, I considered it from the president at the time) education where there was this deal of teaching kids about "cognitive bias". I don't exactly know how to define how it was taught; the teacher would announce that the class would be doing something, or completing a project, and it was these quanta that I learned about most things. Altho it seemed reasonable in hindsight, and altho minorities suffer greatly under the United States, I was just a schoolkid, and it felt like I was being called to do something that I couldn't do. It had a lot to do with the subconscious, an idea that greatly upset me, because I was only a kid. The whole idea of the subconscious felt belittling, self-contradictory, complicated, confusing, and it was an enormous factor in an education that was just imposed on me, with grades for doing it right. I learned about the "pink tax" and the wage gap, and while these ideas were certainly correct and needed to be solved, I was just a kid and felt helpless at these grown-up problems leveled at me. It was like I was told to solve a problem that I couldn't solve, or that I was brainwashed. So when I was told that this was a bad idea, I naturally latched on to PragerU with their video about schools mistreating boys, and then Carl Benjamin, Armored Skeptic, TL-Deer, the works.
School was still hell. I eventually got out of it due to, funnily enough, researching Anarchism on Wikipedia after an economics simulation. It is a very long story, a complicated story, a traumatic story (maybe, I suppose others have it way worse), and one that I have still to dig up. Maybe I shouldn't even post this because this has a lot to do with my childhood, and it might be out of context and misremembered.
