The trick is to realize that the left were retards all along, and just went full retard recently. I too was quite leftist 4 years ago and had zero sense of the concepts of Individualism and Free Market Capitalism. I was also quite hostile towards Christianity. I reject my previous beliefs almost entirely now (except my distrust for the mainstream media), and I recognized that I was brainwashed. And the greatest influence on me were probably movies.
I hear you. I see a sickness of the mind - something I didn’t think I’d see, perhaps something I thought was of the past. I never envisaged this many brainwashed people so certain of their points of view. There’s a disgusting lack of humility involved.
I’m not religious, but I have humility because, I believe, I have very good understanding of Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Geology and Biology, and am absolutely Awed by it all and love it all, but for those who aren’t awed by anything (because they don’t study the hard sciences, and who have no religious backup), I suppose Life has no meaning. I think Nietzsche saw this coming. (And so did Jordan Peterson and Brett and Eric Weinstein.)
To each their own, but I think these animals have appropriated the term "left." literally any other time in history I would be a leftist. We can disagree and have a discussion, but I will never stoop down to insanity like this bullcrap we see today.
I always will be more conservative in social issues, but I will always be a little more liberal in economic stances. My values have never changed, but today's "left" is now unrecognizable.
Well freedom is considered liberal. The same with free markets. However once we’ve found something thats useful, wanting it to stay the same is called conservative. True liberals are probably libertarian, but turning political correctness into a riotous religion with laws and gatherings is now just as big government as what they accused conservatives of all along. We may eventually have to choose between old school christian nationalism or tranny, antiwhite socialism.
I've always been pretty distrustful of Christianity for some reason, but less now than before. I'm still not onboard with it, but I have a more favorable opinion on it than before.
Star Trek is possibly the biggest example. I like science fiction. But it's more than just that - it's also about the great sum of storytelling and the actors in various movies and series. For today's movies it's quite obvious, but back then it was more subtle.
In Stargate for example you had several Chinese related appearances, all of which were weirdly positive. The only government that had issues with keeping the Stargate secret was the Chinese one - they were oh-so obliged to be transparent - which is a ridiculous contrast to the truth. Then there was that Chinese goa'uld lord who was the most helpful to the good guys. There were other parts where they were portrayed positively.
What was also quite prevalent was the generally positive depiction of governments and the negative depiction of corporations & business. And the Noble Savage trope among many others - including injecting feminism in form of weirdly strong and competent women into a lot of positions.
All of that had the purpose of propagating their leftist ideologies in a more or less subtle way. Today I recognize it easily, back then I didn't think about it.
I hear you. A couple of years back, they had a transgender woman named Catherine McGregor doing stints I the commentary box during the biggest home cricket matches of the year. I mean, Catherine’s got a brain, clearly. But it was so manufactured - I was like, ‘why the fuck am I constantly hearing from a transgender army officer during the Boxing Day Test? What’s the fg score again?’
Oo I don’t know about that...we are pretty controlled though. We have a reputation for being anti-authoritarian but underneath it all we are quite conservative. Look at our voting patterns. Liberals in NSW and federal govt atm
I know a lot of people who's views would've been considered liberal in the 90s but now seem downright conservative because of the dramatic shift leftward. I couldn't even imagine marxists openly holding serious positions of power back then.
I used to be a raging liberal, I am more moderate now, but jesus christ have they gone full retard.

So much of my ‘political awakening’ comes from political correctness. It’s so damn boring.
Christian Democracy sounds sweet to me
I assume you don't mean "liberal" in the literal sense, right? You mean anti-liberty. ;)
Just imagine a pro life and pro 2a, and more socially conservative version of Bernie. That’s the kind of statistical anomaly I am (;
I tend to agree

Which ones?

More specific?
I think they're asking which movies influenced you back then.
There's been a lot of propaganda in media before, but it used to be more subtle.
It is a drip-drip-drip from every direction. Death by 1,000 cuts. A massively funded agenda to destroy western civilization to put the NWO in place.
Yes, and I was born just in time to both be affected by it and have my mind changed - possibly even saved.
The disease hasn’t spread totally through Australia. Watching the US/UK/Canada is deeply concerning.
Isn't that because you get your dangerous whites off the street first with your precrime thought police program?

Should point out that Liberals are the Conservative party.
Just a few I've seen:

When you say you are a Moderate..
Are you Moderately Smart? Or Moderately Stupid?
Asking for a friend....
Yes. Let's just say I took both the red pill and blue pill at the exact same time and made my own conclusions.
