The sword of Damocles reminds me when, if I ever turn rightist once again, may the Hexbear ban-hammer me dead

      yeah. It’s definitely a settler thing, I haven’t heard of many leftists in countries ravaged by imperialism dropping the cause, or at least not nearly as many as the amount of “ex-leftists” in the US.

        Ah, yeah, of course. I didn’t just mean it like that though.

        I just feel like there’s a certain point of no-return. If it’s mostly an online, armchair politics then I guess one can go/return Rightist. But if you really get into it and throw down, at a certain point there’s no going back.

          I think it’s possible for people to get subverted into reactionaries (not full on rightists) even if they’ve done actual action for the cause before, because vulgar forms of Marxism, materialism, etc are unfortunately not completely unpopular
