It was only because I’m a rebel. People tell me how bad others are and I have to see for myself. A bane and boon, at once. But I also already believed my lying eyes, just sometimes the empire is clever enough to make us question them. And I was already interested in communism for a long time, but couldn’t distinguish good information from bad, and I’m still learning.
At any rate, I think the jig is about up, with capitalism. I just hope people will take a leap of faith to the left, rather than dig heels into the rocky soil of the right, so to speak.
I recall you mentioned that Lemmy helped you get a better understanding of things, and I’m sure there are many other people people in the same boat.

Very much agree.
You’re a rebel? I would say the material conditions were right for you to seek out alternative information. You’re hardly the only one.
Chalking it up to some intrinsic personal characteristic seems idealistic
No need to read too much into anything and it was tongue-in-cheek.
That doesn’t always come through in text, my bad.
No problem.
