I’ve been seeing in subreddits like politicalcompassmemes and breadtube that sometimes people will discuss how to radicalise people to the left or right, and now I’m scared somebody I know will try to do the same thing.

I value the idea of transparency and trust in relationships and the idea of be in pseudo brainwashed into a ideology scares me.

An example of what started this fear is two posts.

The first one which is left wing discusses how to radicalise liberals to the left (which I’m pretty liberal which creeps me out more)

And the other one was a commment thread on a meme posted to politicalcompassmemes where they discussed how to convert “liblefts” to the right by planting ideas through games and media.

The whole thing just makes me feel really icky since I like the idea of my feee will and now I’m having major anxiety and paranoia that somebody will try to indoctrinate me into a alt right wing group or something like that.
