I’m glad you made it out. It’s way too easy for people who feel like there’s no where else to find companionship to seek it in a mutual hate. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you’re able to continue moving forward and relearning what you thought you knew!

like just bc you’re not alt right anymore doesn’t give me any indication as to what your beliefs align with. Some people who aren’t alt right may be more moderate than they are left, but that doesn’t really matter to me rn. When i said places you landed I meant like right,left, etc.

I don’t label myself but I’m in the process of accepting myself and unlearning the toxic believes I was brainwashed into. It’s not an easy process but I’m trying.

that’s great! Labels aren’t really important to me but they’ve been helpful for understanding where my beliefs and values align and how other people understand me. It helped me a lot to reframe the content I was consuming too so that it showed me things I didn’t even think/know to learn about

Thank u it’s still a process. I can vividly remember the position I was in when I fell into it, lonely, traumatized and desperate for any connection but falling into that cult only made me hate myself for who I knew I was and it then got to a point where I realized the only way I can accept myself is to accept other ppl.
