I was a generally apolitical leftist before Gamergate happened. I just wanted to enjoy games. The outright lies of the media pushed me far away from anything they encouraged. Then as it happened and the 4 years afterwards I started drifting more and more "right" simply as the rest of the world seemed to jump off of a cliff heading left. As I looked into the causes of this I could see one tribe of people continually at the head of the propaganda and most egregious cases.
Nobody "recruited" me, some have enlightened me on aspects of history and society by presenting relevant facts. I reluctantly arrived at my positions after plenty of doubt and thought. Eventually coming to a racial awareness simply makes everything else fall into place, the causes become clear and obvious.

I'm in a similar boat.
I used to consider myself very liberal, I guess I still do.
As I see the left wing parties and voters in my country go more and more insane I only look more favourably on the right.
