I Fell Down the Alt-Right Rabbit Hole. Eventually, I Climbed My Way Out. - Blåhaj Lemmy

As someone who used to be obsessed with Jordan Peterson and had a similar 180 transformation, this is super familiar to me. I remember speaking up at work against critical race theory in a meeting. I look back on that now with huge embarrassment of who I used to be. I was actively working against the things that I stand for now. I’m super grateful to breadtube creators for pulling me out. I still have friends in my life who are like this and I can’t seem to break them out. All I can do is try to be a better example
Which breadtube creators helped you out?
Contrapoints got me on the right track, but I could also imagine Vaush and his edginess being a good foot in the door for some.

That’s how it worked for me.

When I started college, I thought Steven Crowder was a smart guy. I would watch his debated. Which led to debated with Vaush and Destiny in them. Which then led into deeper breadtube.

Now I’m more leftist than Destiny or Vaush from watching Noah Samson and the like. Noah is my favorite breadtuber right now.
