<![CDATA[How I found the Far-Right…. Or rather, how it found me.]]>Imagine this, I’m a young man of the age of 16, for the most part apolitical. When I did discuss politics I took a somewhat neo-conservative view on things. I used to be very into gaming, just loved the thrill of it. One day a friend of mine brought up how it was questionable that Battlefield 1 was adding things and people that made absolutely no historical sense. At first, I told him, “Who the fuck cares? It’s just a game who will take it as historical fact?” Over the course of the next few weeks, he showed me more and more examples of history being revised. It started to show a pattern that these revisions were being done to push an agenda. This agenda was not based on fact, reason, or history. It is pushed on to ignorant people, to give them a false sense of historical fact, create the illusion that diversity is power, and make it seem like multiculturalism has always been a part of European history.

Naturally, all this information was rough on me. I started noticing things every single day, that held these same principles. It was as if my third eye was finally open. I started to realize that not only was history being revised, but Western culture, architecture, and people, were systematically being destroyed.

During this period of my transformation from normism to a defender of the West, I took up a sort of Civic Nationalism approach to politics. This was all happening around election time. I believed that if someone could adapt to American ideals, then they could, in turn, become an American citizen. I was listening to a lot of Mike Cernovich at the time (I know), which gives you some insight into my way of thinking. I should mention, this friend of mine, has been slowly nudging me further and further right over the course of a year, and after the election, this was especially true.

Somewhere along this timeline, my friend introduced me to people like Richard Spencer, Mike Enoch, and Jared Taylor. I was skeptical of these people at first. I mean, I had always been a little biased towards race, but I never took it as far as basing my ideology on it. I really don’t know how it happened, but all I can say is that it didn’t take long before I was hooked to the idea of the Alt-Right. The sense of truly making a difference in the world encompassed me. I can honestly say that this was the best thing that has happened to me. The movement has made me more religious, more caring, and more knowledgeable about the world around me. It has made me realize what is propaganda, lies, and fallacy. In this regard, it has made me a philosopher (Self Proclaimed). I have been able to use logic and reason to create my own ideas. I can notice a bad argument almost instantly. No longer am I the ignorant child I once was, instead I use my ignorance as a drive for knowledge.

Even though the past 2 years has drastically changed me, I am not content with the 18 year old young man I am today. I will keep expanding my knowledge, growing, becoming stronger, and continue to become wiser. It is by no means easy to take on this task. It takes more self reflection and learning than may be comfortable for the average person. However, if you have the will, you can make a change worth happening. Not some progressive, HOORAY change, but a real one. One that impacts our future. Keep reading, keep learning, keep questioning, and keep lifting. Never give up, because the world as we know it, quite literally depends on us.

Those who march with us will certainly face abuse, misunderstanding, bitter animosity, and possibly the ferocity of struggle and of danger. In return, we can only offer to them the deep belief that they are fighting that a great land may live. - Oswald Mosley
