To have a comprehensive worldview is very desirable, because then you know how everything works, but in my opinion, you won’t ever know how everything truly works until you also understand how people work, where are they coming from, and mainly, what informs and drives their decisions.
So here’s the deal, before becoming a communist, I used to be a liberal, and then also very briefly one of those alt right pseudointellectuals. As my ideological framework changed, I kept updating my worldview, and usually, I simply discarded those beliefs that I did not subscribe to anymore.
However, I still think about them sometimes, and I wish I remembered them better, because I think it would also help me understand other people who still subscribe to them. Does anyone else think about such things sometimes, and is there also some resource or can someone personally shed some light on these ideologies? Because I would certainly like to learn more about them (and remember what I forgot), about how the people who subscribe to them think about things and the world at large.
I was partly motivated to make this post by this Tumblr thread:

I will never shy away from looking at fascist neoliberal, or “leftist”/Western woke/anarchist rabbitholes because the worst that will happen to me at this point is it will strengthen my views at the expense of exhausting me. I have been an ear to all sorts of these people IRL, I mean after all those are the two-to-three camps that basically every American falls under. I believe most people at least have a grain of truth that they recognize and it was just exploited and terribly distorted by the insanity machine.
