Transformative Political Journeys

Individuals often transition into dissident thought from various political backgrounds, forming distinct groups. The first group consists of ex-libertarians who may carry forward certain principles but evolve beyond them, while the second group includes former normie conservatives disillusioned by mainstream party politics. The largest group appears to be ex-liberals who, having become disenchanted with progressivism, bypass traditional ideologies entirely. This categorization highlights the complex routes individuals take as they seek answers to contemporary political and cultural dilemmas.
