how many people here are former leftist and/or SJWs?
I was. it's not a life i'd wish on anyone, you aren't happy and you try and suck out everyone else's happiness by acting superior to them and being the fun police. I look back on my life and think it would have been better if i were just normal like today and not some turbo faggot who got triggered and couldn't take a dose of reality ever.

Well, i was a former communist

I don't know how successful they'd be but I was thinking of starting a former lefty / SJW support thread for those who are crossing over.
It was a long and isolating process for me seeing absolutely zero friends IRL crossed over.

The amazing thing is, my closest friends know I'm no longer a HillDawg and they are actually ok with it. Here's to the power of friendship :-)

Describe the experience ex-leftykin, what was it like on the other side?

I used to be an anarchist ~15 years ago. For me it wass all about the parties, pussy and drugs.

Then I came to my senses.

it's ok, we were all 13 once

How does one become an SJW? It never made any sense to me.

Social validation and/or peer pressure. Most people in colleges/universities are left-wing and progressives.

People on pol are just as stupid, emotional and reactionary as the worst 'SJW' You're all part of the pleb tier societal garbage who doesn't matter so it's not quite surprising to see 'converts' here.

I've always been right-leaning, even in my kiddie commie days I was further to the right than 99% of people my age
Probably because im edgy and kewl but I live in cali so I had to out-edge all the other faggot kids

the other side isn't happy. They seek to destroy the happiness of others. that's the honest to god root of it. That's why SJWs now say white gay men have privilege and aren't oppressed.

If you are black and go against what the left thinks of pro black, we thought you a dumb nigger but never said it

if you were gay and went against what we called pro-gay. we openly called you "a self-hating gay"

there's nothing but actual hatred and anger at other people's happiness on that side and it's nearly 100% misguided idiots.

the reason i become a right winger was literally "i want to tell off dumb conservashits! i should read some of their literature to understand their dumb point of view" i began to switch pretty fast and read liberal books and thought they were retarded. I stopped being a liberal when i picked up a damn book and read it.

I used to be a commie and a SJW.

If there was one organisation online that helped me cross over, it was Wikileaks not here.
I saw the government that I had previously supported turn against Wikileaks and Assange (he bought some of that on himself admittedly).

I was astounded to see the way the Obama administration treated them, Manning and Snowden.

You want to be "acceptable" and people pleasing to the detriment of yourself. Peer pressure and validation from people who you believe will like you if you agree. Don't get me wrong, there are liberals who can maintain their own opinion without SJWism but sjw mentality preys on insecurity.

Used to be a Socialist Republican. Now I'm more centre/centre-right.

Same here
Also raised by a single mom

I'm quite sure there's a correlation

I've noticed this to. Former friends who are SJWs tend to have bad relationships with their fathers (and sometimes their mothers as well).

I was.

What turned me was the 2007 US election. The unquestioning love for obama and the spewing hate for Palin just started to make me feel uncomfortable. I thought there were some shitty aspects to Obama and as for Palin, I didn't like how she was ripped to shreds. That was the start. Two terms of Obama and clintons constant fuck ups have put me firmly to the right.

when I was a leftist I remember being really conflicted because the things I saw and experienced didnt make any sense on the things the leftist told me, so I began to question that point of view and then discovered Sup Forums

transition is hard, but now I feel much better because I finally understand how and why things work the way they do

I'm unhappy and I try to lighten the mood and make people happy sometimes. That always brings me a bit of joy, though, not much...

I was a Liberal, and I got triggered if people were being racists or Homophobic, and now i constantly make racist statements and offensive jokes.

You have SJW in Trinidad?

I noticed this with female SJWs especially. And they ALL claimed to suffer from anxiety and have weird daddy-dom interests.

I was an NDP supporter when I was younger. I was a very militant atheist too who hated Christians for being "intolerant"

But honestly my support of the NDP was because I came from a poorfag family and I thought the NDP actually cared about worker's rights.

We need more Leftist/SJW rehab threads

So you're saying we can bring back arguments by conning them into thinking they can win the argument by reading conservative books and findind out how they "think n shit"

Former antifa. Literally wasted 5 years of my life for nothing

True, I was raised by great parents who stayed married and in love, looked after their children and worked hard. I have grown up to have quite a conservative viewpoint and I'm sensible when talking politics. A huge amount of libtards that spout autism, repeat lefty bullshit they've heard and REEEEE at anything they deem offensive also seem to hate their parents.

Welcome back bro o/

unfortunately this

>when you are getting redpilled and realize that you no longer fit in your social groups
>when you meet a new person and just realize that he/she is a liberal
>when you live in a area where 90% population is a leftist
>when you can't speak your mind because you know that there will be problems

im done, I think that one day im going to explode and enter full Sup Forums retard mode in public

Barely, it's mostly racial politics but feminism is catching on so I'll give it 20 years again.

The same way you become a Sup Forumslack. Instead of being brainwashed in Pol you get brainwashed in Tumblr or Reddit.

it's called growing up, welcome aboard

I was a leftist/atheist in highschool until my first college year
meeting actual leftist miliant groups was a big reality check, most of them are just a bunch of junkies who think they have all the answers

start by shittalking gypsies, every european I met hates them no matter how leftist they are

Same, and that's pretty much how it felt.

I felt like it was my personal duty to point out every microaggression on Facebook because my comrades would look down on me otherwise.

Also, leftists wear militancy like it's a chic fashion trend. It's super embarrassing and cringeworthy.

not the worst tactic but few will read, fewer will engage the material.

every raid on Sup Forums yields new converts, I'll tell you that much.

There's a reason the Antifa and SJWs are stifling free speech and making their points with violence.

Their ideas suck.

I would say yes. You wouldn't convert them all to conservatism. some would be libertarian and others more center left than far left, but that would get a large chunk of SJWs.
I'm not talking about the ones you see on TV or youtube though, most of them are either far too down the rabbit hole or are maliciously SJWs and know what they are doing

是啊

my father was abusive, i'd come home from his house with bruises around my neck kind of shit. that said im not surprised not having a father around in my teens made me a sissyboy liberal

I used to be far far left. I'm not sure if I ever fully identified as a communisty but I worked with them alot, went to communist political party conferences, etc. I seen some scary stuff, the brainwashing etc. This was years ago before SJWs were really a thing but then it's all just variations of communism. I was also an agnostic/athiest. I am now the polar opposite of those, on both counts.

I always acted as though I knew better than everyone else, but it was just parroting talking points fed to me by the media. I never really felt I had the truth of it though, deep down in the core of my being. Now I do, years later.

You have to go back though, Plebbit
