One memory that sticks out to me is, I was reading some comment thread about like unemployment or something, and somebody wrote a comment that was something like the following:
"Republicans dream of a country where everyone is their own small business owner, but that's literally impossible to achieve because then there wouldn't be any workers. Capitalism needs workers."
Suddenly a lot of things about the economy started to make more sense. I became a socialist not long after that.
I think it was an r/politics thread, strangely enough
I’m pretty sure an r/politics thread I saw back in 2018 linked to r/chapotraphouse, which was maybe the most important factor in my radicalization. This is probably why r/chapotraphouse no longer exists and why r/politics is now so meticulously policed.
