for me, it came down to my liberal indoctrination that made it impossible to understand why there was so much violence and hatred being perpetrated upon the world and done by seemingly perpetually rotating casts of bad actors fueled by authoritarianism and hatred and all of it could only lead to climate change and wealth disparity.

since then, i've learned that the source of that evil is always the same dozen or so bad actors and their goal is always dominance for profit and the world became a lot easier to understand. it helped me realize that a just world not only possible, but has already been enacted in places that my liberal indoctrination had told me were dystopian, authoritarian hellholes.

Oh yes, was also indoctrinated into that lib shit too and the doomerism is so real. The focus on the individual is too damn high.

Don't get me wrong, I still have my blind spots. But man it's good when things make sense and know where I would like things to how and now to get there. Cause before I understood this if I had infinite power for a split second to reimage the world it would have reverted to this state before I blinked.

i know i never be able to fully shake off the indoctrination and i suspect that this is true for almost everyone else.
