This wasn't directed at me, but I'm responding because my experiences seem relevant.
I am a person who has radically diverged from my immediate family both politically and culturally. 8 years ago, I was a very left-wing person. Now, I'm a nationalist and a populist, an anti-feminist, and completely devoid of white guilt.
There were two primary catalysts for this divergence:
my own catastrophic relationship with a predatory BPD girl, leading me to question everything I had ever been taught about social sexual hierarchies
The media going to bat for another BPD girl known as Zoe Quinn, leading me to question every media narrative in existence - past, present, and future
This is the perfect one-two punch for breaking free of indoctrination. A personal trauma shocked me out of the status quo and forced me to seek alternative explanations, and then additional real world events almost immediately confirmed the truth of what I had learned.
Once I saw through one set of lies, I became capable of seeing similar lies everywhere else. This is why the red pill metaphor is so apt. You never turn away from the truth if you came by it honest, through hardship and experience rather than "education".
In the end, it always comes back to education and media. Together, they erect and maintain the mental prison that holds people captive to irrational and evil ideologies. It takes a precipitating event to trigger an awaken from such a coma.
Then you need a place to land. For me, that place has been a moving target, safe for only a few months up to maybe a couple of years before it is inevitably captured or destroyed. We've left a graveyard of forums in our wake at this point. That's the goal of all oppressive systems: to make sure that anyone who manages to unplug will have nowhere safe to go.
Gamergate was the best non-personal thing to ever happen to me. It obviously doesn't hold a candle to my actual, real life milestones, but without GG, I would absolutely still be colorblind, humanist, and frustrated by my lack of understanding of why society doesn't work.
Gamergate was the event that started opening my eyes, which was the start of my second year of college. Unfortunately my beliefs were half-developed from Gamergate (I became anti-feminist, but was still “globalist-leaning”) before another event (that I partially instigated) opened my eyes completely.
Ditto for one and two, with slightly different politics. Still i think your martix metaphore is apt because the system certainly doesnt like 'programs' like ours, willing to speak up and call evils, despite the msm shilling for them in a wholly propogandic way. This whole covid agenda has made me realize just how stupid and incepid most people are whom look to newsmedia for any kind of guidance/

I apologise for rambling.

interesting, a predatory BPD girl was my initial catalyst as well
Ditto. Based insane sjws perpetuating our own freeing from the MSmatrix.
Same here...damn.
Holy shit, are you me? That's eerily similar to my own journey.
