I've actually wondered that myself, TC. CE wasn't always an insanely radicalized board, so was there some turning point or big event that pushed it over the cliff and made it the r/politics of GameFAQs? Or just more of a gradual process?

Third grade when my teacher showed us "Our Friend Martin." The Latina character resonated a lot with me because it made me realize it doesn't matter how smart or hardworking you are if you are never given a chance.

Biggest turning point for me was when I broke my ankle, and my job was gonna can me. I had been working there for almost 2 years collectively (after a short time gone), and they tried to dick me around, saying that qualifying for FMLA required a year of continuous employment. It does not, and the only thing that kept me from being crippled and unemployed was knowing my laws and rights.

That began my path to radicalization, starting with labor laws and organizations, which then leads into other leftist ideologies. It seems obvious to me now, but it took coming close to losing everything to realize just how fucked the whole system is, and how many people weren't as lucky as I was.
