People who used to be liberal/leftist that turned to the far right or ethno nationalist, what made your views change?

The 2015 migrant crisis here in Europe was the catalyst that changed me forever. The image of endless hordes of young men from the Third World flooding our continent awakened a force within me that was dormant for a long time. I suspect I've always had a raging nativist within me that was just screaming to get out. Even when I was still a leftist I've never been into all the anti-white stuff. I always hated SJWs. Watching my own side openly colluding with the invaders and relentlessly attacking whites triggered a disgust response that eventually set me on the path towards the Alt-Right. It took me about 2-3 years to become fully radicalized. But yes, the 2015 migrant crisis started it. When you see hordes of young men from other races flood your continent and sexually assault European girls en masse -- like in Cologne -- that does something to you. It's like a primordial instinct that immediately kicks in and takes over. If you're a man and you don't feel the same way in such a situation then you're simply not a real man. You're a cuck. Period.

"It took me about 2-3 years to become fully radicalized"

I think that we saying how adopting healthy common sense nationalist views means becoming "radicalized" is not good, we shouldn't fall into this leftist framing, instead ex lefties/liberals should say they got deradicalized.

Radical means going to the root of the problem. It's an appropriate term.

There's nothing wrong with being radical. Be a man and have convictions.

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.
