This is more projection. You had to be taught the things you believed and assume everyone must have done the same.
I had race grifters in my school 2 full months out of the year in Feb/Nov so the Indians and Niggers could sling white guilt into us from the moment we could understand to cry at the "atrocities." I had a feminist guidance counselor in my middle school try to gaslight me into think I was the problem and was driving my mother to use meth because single moms can do no wrong. So extra lol at "good social structure."
I saw the machine, I contemplated it and I rejected it because it didn't make sense with the reality I was witness to. I'm not special, I don't feel anything I did is above barest minimum effort. And I've been wrong on plenty too, and I'll own up to it when I am.
I've knelt at the feet of people I hurt in my youth to beg for forgiveness for my foolishness, can you say the same?
Well I spent over a decade as a MRA in the late 90s/00s getting told to kill myself daily and getting a lot of heat from angry people trying to attack my little 2-5 person sign holding protests. I've been accused of every possible thing vindictive women can throw at a man because I was a sexist misogynist monster. I've probably missed out on countless social bonds that refused to associate with a wrong thinker before I even knew they existed. I was constantly fighting to protect my right to stay in college earning my degree in Psychology despite the numerous professors trying to fail me or refuse me into their class out of feminist loyalty, because of my beliefs.
You seem to have forgotten that prior to like 2017 you couldn't be right wing in public, especially on the internet, in most places without getting ostracized, attacked, and treated to the full brunt of every type of manipulation and cancellation. Major Big Name People were being fired for making minor donations or even publicly admitting to supporting right wing causes.
Its why Woke and Trannies and all that got so far, people were too scared to even remotely speak against it because of how bad the consequences would be. This was the oppression we lived under for over a decade.
I feel for your sacrifices, its hard to do and respectable to stick by your new beliefs in the face of them. And I mean that genuinely, brother. But don't bring that "woe is me, I'm a victim too" shit in here after you were on the side victimizing some of us gleefully before. Part of repentance is humility, not monetizing your victimhood for gain like a Leftie does.
Fair enough.
I am sorry that you seem to have lost so much, my friend. You seem to have gone through much more than most in your journey from one side to another and that does speak to the strength of your convictions.
No one enjoys going through hardship only to be told they're a bad person for having had to go through it in the first place. I see this attitude a lot in Conservative camps from people who've never had to reevaluate a single opinion they ever held and I hold it in just as much contempt as I hold the Left in. It's outright derision of personal growth and that's a very unhealthy message to be propagating, both morally and from a more cynical pragmatic standpoint as well, although I attribute far more importance to the former.
And I'm as bitter and hateful as I am because of how much hardship I had to endure under during those days just to come out on the other side with a lot of the people who were gladly trying to stone me before "suddenly" switching sides and trying to act like my comrade in the battle they brought upon us.
I'll concede my grudges are both petty and likely unhelpful, but I am unwilling to fully let them go either because of how bad some of those days got. And I hold you no true ill will through them, regardless.
