>This, I think, is where YouTube’s “suggested videos” can lead you down a rabbit hole. I unlocked the Pandora’s box of “It’s not racist to criticize Islam!” content.
>About a week before the US election, I heard one of these YouTubers use the phrase "red-pilled"– a term from the film The Matrix – in reference to people being awakened to the truth about the world and SJWs. Suddenly I thought: “This is exactly like a cult. What am I doing? I’m turning into an arsehole.”
>I unsubscribed and unfollowed from everything, and told myself outright: “You’re becoming a racist. What you’re doing is turning you into a terrible, hateful person.” Until that moment I hadn’t even realized that “alt-right” was what I was becoming; I just thought I was a more open-minded person for tolerating these views.
>It would take every swearword under the sun to describe how I now feel about tolerating such content and gradually accepting it as truth. I’ve spent every day since feeling shameful for being so blind and so easily coerced.
