I may have some personal experience with a full blow leftist.
My older brother is unfortunately one of them. He is unhappy in his marriage, his health and his job and blames society for all of that. His dream society would be one were he can stay and read all day, not have to work, his wife doing everything. For some reason he thinks that communism and woke ideology would solve every one of his problem.
He somehow believes that under communism he does not have to work, despite the fact that under communism everyone worked. He also believes that he must be "on the gender spectrum" so he does not have to work towards a masculine ideal and be an actual husband and an actual father.
What he hates is people proving him wrong, people who work hard, workout, strive to be good husbands and fathers and are happy about it. So he likes any ideology that would hurt the average guy.
Not the person you were responding to but my sister and I are different in just about every way. I think there's an element of both nature and nurture to everyone and that my sister and I both landed in different areas of the nature slider. Add that I'm the older sister who felt responsibility to set a good example and make my family proud, where she was the youngest and wanted to be first at something (thus got into things like boys and drugs at a young age) and you get two girls raised virtually the same but ending up very different people. One takes responsibility and the other needs to stand out so she plays the victim. That sort of thing.

I'm curious how your parents handled that? Discipline goes a long way in course-correcting a child's bad behaviour.
My dad did his best but wasn't very present since he worked overtime and always had side projects (managing apartments, finishing his bachelors degree, flipping houses, etc) When we were young he tried grounding her but he couldn't ground her from school which is where all her friends were. They also lived close by so it was easy for her just to leave wherever he wasn't home and see them anyway. Mom let her get away with everything (unsure if she just didn't care or was letting my sister do what she wasn't able to get away with in her own youth). When we were older he tried to fix it by employing both of us, originally using the honor system, but eventually turning into her only being allowed into the houses if I was also there to supervise, so that turned into her not working for him anymore.
In her senior year we moved away from the town we grew up in to pretty much the country so any attempts for her to get with her old group would be 40mins one way of drive time and gas which neither she nor her friends were willing to do often.
I'm not a G.I.R.L. like you, but there are a lot of paralells with a certain family member of mine - its very interesting seeing the commonalities across genders. We could almost be related. But this is truly a rare post for you, congrats on popping your own 2nd comment cheery, after only a year, roflmao. It's time to participate a smidge more 🎲🎲

So how did you turn out differently from your brother?
I am very interested in people who come from the same (or similar) situations, and yet end up on opposite sides of the spectrum.
