I grew up accepting the propaganda wholesale, then at some point when I was around 16, my critical thinking skills suddenly switched on all at once and I was like “Wait a second, this is all some bullshit!” This didn’t seem to be due to any external influence, I think my brain just rebooted.
I think my critical thinking skills were switched on a bit later at 21,
Oh well, better later than never I suppose
Yeah, it happens. I was a little edgy nazi shithead in my early teens. Brain development is crazy not gonna lie. Did a full 180 myself
Yeah, Same here honestly, I was conservative when I was a teenager and then I became more progressive as I got older
