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:

I've seen what humans do to their "lessers" and all the excuses they make to justify all kinds of horrors long after they cease to be necessary for survival, and think it's coming time where humans will reap what they have sown. The Greeks were right about hubris, and species-level hubris is going to bite Man's butt hard.
