Each of us joined this board to discuss politics, meaning we care about politics enough to discuss it. Were you always this way? If not, what changed?
For me, I got involved in helping refugees because I am reasonably wealthy and wanted to give back to society. I had no clue it was a political act until people started to harass and threaten me. Then Reclaim Australia happened, which I immediately recognised as Nazism and I started to speak out against it. Out of that, a gang of people started creating fake Facebook pages of me, claiming to speak for me and saying I loved terrorism, etc. They stalked my kids online, created pages attacking them and called my house threatening to kill them. To this day there are people who try to find me all over the internet, attack me, and try to get me to retaliate so they can take screenshots and claim I stalk and harass them. I've had cops at my door because they did this and misrepresented what I said (I said I think someone will try to kill Kyle Rittenhouse, in a right wing group where people were saying Kyle proves it's OK to execute people for being left wing).
I got regular death threats for years. If you google me there's a ton of videos lying about me and giving my address, in the hope someone sees them and tries to harm me. I was also submitted to a ton of pages claiming I am a child abuser and rapist. These things would affect my life if I was not married a long time, and an in demand professional. They tried to basically destroy my life because I am kind to people who are not white. At one stage someone who was threatening me sent me a photo of himself outside my front gate. I was at work, and my kids were home. It was scary.
So, I learned that to have morals, to be literate and kind, is to be left wing. Some right wing people are not extremists, but none reject the extremists in their midst. They are trying to tear down and destroy society, so I am left wing.
