The three big ones for me were realizing that racial IQ differences were real, illegal immigrants murdering my White best friend, and reading Kevin MacDonald's The Culture of Critique.
After learning that I had a high IQ when I was 14, I wanted to know more about what exactly IQ is. And it was during that research online that I accidentally stumbled across the raging debate over racial differences in IQ.
I wasn't the average 14-year-old. Despite my parents being very liberal, they were actually very socially conservative in a lot of ways. One of the ways in which they were very socially conservative is that they didn't let my siblings and I watch TV because they thought that it would rot our brains. I also attended boarding schools that didn't let us have TVs in our dorm rooms. So, what does an insanely bored kid do when he can't watch TV or play video games all day? Read books all day instead.
I had already read all of Carl Sagan's books, all of Stephen Jay Gould's books, all of Stephen Hawking's books, all of Jared Diamond's books, and a small library of other popular science books by the time that I was 13. So, it's pretty safe to say that I was a massive science fanboy growing up.
That's why I was so fucking enraged to see these toothless inbred redneck neo-Nazi KKK pieces of shit dare try to argue that science and reality was actually on their side. I basically went full Kraut and Tea... I wanted to utterly annihilate their scientific arguments, and so I read a small mountain of books on the topic of IQ from both sides of the debate. I also read hundreds of online articles and blog posts and watched about a dozen documentaries on this topic before coming to the literally painful conclusion that the redneck neo-Nazi skinheads actually did have science and reality on their side, and that my liberal, anti-racist side of the debate was actually spouting bullshit half-truths in a desperate attempt to combat White Supremacy.
But despite that paradigm shattering red-pill, I still remained a loyal libtard for about 6 more years because I simply wasn't ready to join the "dark side" yet. My leftist indoctrination was way too deep to abandon the left overnight. In fact, I actually became more extreme politically over the next few years. Reading Noam Chomsky's books, among others, turned me into a proud Marxist. I was even borderline Antifa in my late teens and almost joined in on a lynch mob after this girl in my high school argued that not all Nazis were evil because they were just following orders (long story).
However, I was starting to become increasingly disillusioned with the left after traveling to current and former communist countries and seeing how fucked up they were, and because I was reading right-wing books and blogs in order to better understand my political enemies during the Bush era.
The straw that finally broke the camel's back was the brutal murder of my White best friend by a pack of 15 MS-13 gang members when we were both sophomores in college. Every single one of them was an illegal immigrant. While researching MS-13 online right after my best friend was murdered, I randomly stumbled across this blog post that was written several months prior by conservative pundit Michelle Malkin where she was basically condemning the open borders left for allowing MS-13 to spread to the Washington, D.C. area.
That blog post completely destroyed me mentally because I knew that if I had read it just a couple of weeks ago I probably would have written a comment under her blog entry telling her that I hope that she gets hit by a truck for being such a retarded and evil racist piece of shit.
I felt like my best friend's blood was on my hands because I had supported open borders, mass immigration, diversity, tolerance, multiculturalism, amnesty, sanctuary cities, et cetera. I was so far left that I even opposed the idea of nation-states themselves because I thought that they were extremely primitive, and because they supported the "othering" of foreigners by encouraging xenophobia, war, racism, inequality, et cetera. I was basically a globalist. A proud citizen of the world...
The murder of my best friend by brown-skinned illegal immigrants not only caused me to finally leave the left, but it also caused me to completely turn on my former leftist comrades. I'm now completely dedicated to tearing down the left's entire power structure because I finally realized that I had been manipulated into supporting my own racial demise. The left has already fucked up enough previously idyllic White communities and sacrificed enough innocent White people to the altar of diversity. They need to be completely destroyed before they completely destroy White Western civilization.
The murder of my best friend also cemented my red-pilling about racial differences in crime rates and overall standards of living in general. If we allow brown-skinned "Hispanics" (Amerinds/Mestizos) to take over America demographically, then obviously we'll eventually have the same problems that brown-skinned "Hispanic" countries have because their problems are largely rooted in their inferior genes. It's a very simple and glaringly obvious observation, and yet I wasn't capable of recognizing it because I had been so thoroughly brainwashed by (((modern anti-racist liberal ideology))) since infancy.
And reading Kevin MacDonald's books about 4 years ago is why I put triple parentheses around modern anti-racist liberal ideology...
