I used to be a reactionary and hated Jewish people because I believed antisemitic conspiracies about them. Now I've been reeducated and consider them comrades but I hate Israel for obvious reasons. (hexbear.net)

For the country being a white supremacist settler-colonist state that's doing a slow (now fast) genocide on Palestinians. It's nice to be on the correct side for once, as I used to believe that Israel controlled the USA and not vice-versa, I've learned so much more about the world thanks to leftism. Being a reactionary I was seriously ignorant and in the dark, fueled by dumb ass racist thoughts and a baby's understanding of the world.

I've shared on here a bunch of times my own journey from being a reactionary to coming around to leftism, I think it was before you joined. But I make no excuses for it, I was bad, I fucked up a lot, but now I have to admit I feel some pride in myself for becoming a better person.

That's good! Perhaps that's how it should be. We have to feel a sense of pride in getting from point A to point B, even if point A was rock-bottom.

Okay, thanks for being with us, SorosFootSoldier.

I consider it a bottom for sure, a very low point in my life, thanks.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was also at a low point and believed bad things, but it's whatever at this point. Past is the past, I suppose.

Tell you what, it feels a hell of a lot better to be where I'm at today. Like I still get angry and shit, but it feels like a righteous anger, stuff I should be upset at for the right reasons.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's great!

My life has also improved and I've been nearing the end of my depression so I'm cautiously optimistic that I will beat it for good this time.

Wish you the best comrade.

Oh yeah, and if you ever need funds again, like last time, I'll try to send some your way.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Appreciate it.

Same to you!
