What radicalized you?

Assuming you're an anarchist or otherwise leftist radical, what radicalized your position?

For me it was a combination of seeing the rampart corruption of the Greek state and the sloth and hypocrisy of the KKE in my own family. Then afterwards it was the alienation of my own wage-slavery.

Remember to care for your opsec when answering.

Is being autistic by definition being anti authoritarian? I've interacted with a couple of autists that, seemingly at least, were very much pro authoritarianism.

@Plopp @rockSlayer Not necessarily, althought ADHD people tend to be anti-authoritarian. However ASD people tend to have a very strong sense of justice. But they can still be factually wrong. But often whatever we believe is right, we believe it and push for it strongly. This is why you usually find ASD people with radical beliefs, from Anarchism, to TERFs to Objectivists etc.

Like everything involved with autism, anti-authoritarianism is an autistic trait that varies from person to person. I have a very strong sense of it that has been amplified by theory
