I got into death metal around ~2000. At that point I reached the incredibly named anus.com.* Y'all might laugh, but this was a super reactionary place at that point. I'll always remember the triggering moment for me: a simple question of whether culture determined race (social constructionism), or whether race determined culture. Just that possibility led me down a rabbit hole that never ceased. My nasty right-wing thoughts ever permeated, and after a touch of Sowell, I was done for.
*These days, some of the reviews on the old website are available at deathmetal.org.
--- a little drunk, so including some links:

My parents were Republican so growing up I always leaner right. I went through an Ancap phase and while I like the ideals they are pretty unrealistic. I’m a registered Republican because I dislike the Dems even more. I’m a fan of Sowell as well. I like libertarian ideas but tolerance doesn’t seem to go both ways.
In entertainment I remember not understand what was going on when gamergate happened and then the push to have “diversity”. What really confuses me to this day is the obsession with getting women into male hobbies
It was never about uplifting women, it was always about destroying men. Feminists hate the fact that men can be loyal friends, because women really can't.
The ultimate goal of feminists, and all neomarxists, is to dissolve our current civilization to expose the "utopia" they deluded themselves in to believing will spring forth once all of the "problematics" have been destroyed.
Destruction of male camaraderie is part of the process because males who are strongly bonded to each other aren't willing to sacrifice themselves for a "revolution" and are much harder to isolate and destroy should one of the friends become a target of the regime.
