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'm personally very happy for you that you've changed for the better but I'm sure you also know subconsciously that there's never any good that can come from admitting this

Could be wrong but you're probably hoping this confession will relieve the guilt of the sins in the past?

Don't think there are any priests here just delete this and hide the past

Lying is good sometimes

Yeah but I'd rather not lie. Just been thinking about stuff this morning and today with Israel and the war and thinking about how I would have felt, the old me, in the past. I make no illusions about who I used to be. But thanks.

I've thought a lot about this recently. Like I'm sure that a lot of us might have had problematic or even awful views in the past, but talking about them does nothing except make the speaker seem less trustworthy to the people impacted by their past views.

You see it way too often in transfemme communities where someone will be like "lol I used to be a fascist but I got better." Like cool, glad you're better now, but now I need to question whether you've really gotten over those bigot brainworms.

I am happy you are not shitty anymore, SorosFootSoldier, and I trust that you will continue to be vigilant about shitty ideas resurfacing.
