When did you hit peak SJW and why? - Get off the woke train and see through the bullshit that is identity politics!

Properly when I was 17/18, by coincidence I went to MMO champion and saw some dude put up a video from Mister Metukor, that was went I became redpilled and the reason why I have respect for Jim. Prior to that, my mother was always bitching about Political correctness but I didn't understand completely at the time so at least I had good influence/counter balance growing up despite the woke poisoning once the redpill took effect.

When I realised that gay men were historically among the most sexist men.

I probably was around 15 or so when I was at peak pinko in my personal politics. When I was young I started to read some high-level shit that my young brain interpreted as an oligarchical society keeping oppressed; I read the Communist Manifesto, went into Renaissance-era literature like Machiavelli's Prince, and at the time it had the effect of convincing me that a centralized economy could work and that communists weren't bloodthirsty pieces of shit.

The older I got, however, the more critically I began to think of events in the world around me; this was around the same time I started to realize I was more attracted to men, and noticed that the media wanted to parade around this image of metrosexual, skipping, effeminate faggots in horrifying pride parades. I read Atlas Shrugged and it was a huge stepping stone towards the anarcho-capitalist I am today. I have very little sympathy for those who cannot progress past the critical thinking it requires to realise that socialist/communist bullshit never works because at the end of the day it relies on some people being selfless, all-caring individuals--the problem is that when you elevate people to a position of power, they can rarely retain those ideals, and committee-think cannot solve all your problems for you. You start making millions of hats for an already-hat-wearing populace and don't build enough cars for everyone to have basic transport. Even the Nazis were guilty of socialist bullshit disguised as blind nationalism.

TL;DR I can't talk to other gay guys in most social forums because inevitably politics come up, and I ain't black, because I didn't vote for Uncle Joe.

Extremely liberal in college, but once I got slapped in the face by the reality of working a real job I looked back and realized a lot of my ideology was based on me subconsciously looking for excuses to put away my own iniquities

When I felt like a drunk, I tried to excuse drunkenness. When I felt like a stoner, I tried to excuse getting stoned. When I felt penniless, I tried to excuse putting in the effort to get a job. Looking back, I was wishing for the rules of life to change instead of realizing there was a natural framework built around putting in the effort to achieve something

So with religion removed by modern "society", something has to fill that emptiness, be it consumerism, identity politics, or atheism as a religion. It's like nature abhorring a vacuum.

This was my biggest fear and I knew this was eventually going to happen. The nu-atheists of the time thought we were going to be religion free becasue God was being removed from society. But, you don't need a god or even believe in the supernatural to be religious. Ultimately, all religion is to its core is dogma. People will natually follow some rules on reality, and people picked up on progressiveness as their new dogma.
