    well, my upbringing mostly. the places where I grew up were mostly left leaning or communist controlled areas. but i was apolitical for most of my adult life and maybe was even a lib but the event that triggered me is ukraine war really? i started researching about zelensky and why everyone is dick-riding him at the beginning of the conflict. and soon i started to reading Vijay Prasad etc.

      This is good. If you start with the fact that you weren’t really political, then only became so because of what you found at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, it’s a more compelling story than “listen to me! I’m right!” (it took me longer than I care to admit that many of my arguments used to sound more like the latter than the former).
