I did a dip into the political right-of-center pipeline, and drank the Kool-Aid, it wasn't until I watched Vaush, PhilosophyTube & Natalie Wynn
(Contrapoint) pick apart Sargon of Akkad, Tim Pool, Jordan Peterson, etc. little band of politically right bullshit. I especially remember Vaush probing through the Count-"It's just a joke"-Dankula, who hides his hate for immigrants and right-leaning idiocy behind a veneer & fall-back to "It's just a joke" bs.
I remember buying and reading Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos" and thinking that it was a good self-help book, with his view of meta-narratives; I had a blind-spot for all the religious language and style he employs.
I have mainly Vaush to thank for, for making me realize what kind of, almost mentally ill, emotionally appeals they make. I was atheist well before that, but I had lukewarm feelings for all things religious - I've now gone further left than even before my dip into the right-political pipeline, to the point of reading stuff by Marx & Engels Selected Works. I would consider myself even anti-Capitalist at this point, where capitalism is an evil we have to combat, from within and outside looking in, if you understand me.
