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.
Contra would be really good if she didn’t suffer from chronic foot-in-mouth disease.
Absolutely. I don’t watch her very much anymore, but if nothing else she was a big contributing factor to getting me solidly left.
