Reactionary beliefs you used to hold
I'm not exactly sure where this should go so a mod can move it accordinly, Politics seemed correct IMO.
My question is RevLeft: What are reactionary beliefs that you used to hold? Also whatever state whatever else you feel is necessary for the thread.
I used to be quite sexist, I saw women as completely less than men because of assumptions on physical appearance, women being smaller they must be weaker and lesser than men. When I was younger I used mysogynistic language often when talking to women, I would say something like "Hey b***h, how are you?" or I would call the women whore randomly, but never female teachers because they were authority figures and going against authorities was wrong to me at that point. I thought of women more like they were commodities, objects, just property. I used to be excessively racist and nationalistic as well. I would pray and say the pledge to the flag daily, and I thought that the white race was superior to all, and that German Poles were the superior ones to all other people with European ancestry. In the past to me people of other races were not humans, and specifically 'Asians' were the subhumans to me, but people with darker skin were more human than them, and whites were more human because of my shitty, fucked up perception. I was so homophobic at one point that I attacked this kids fear of clowns and made him have to leave school early and he didn't come back for a few days. I used to think I was being a great American, but I was making people hate me in reality, but I didn't care, I was being a great American patriot! Who hated Muslims and would make fun of the perceived terrorists at school. I remember my mom recently telling me she was so proud of how patriotic I was and how she was proud that I was into Catholicism. I used to believe in the David Icke shit and went to Rense.com a lot as well.
Thought this thread was a good idea, a lot more I could add of things I used to believe and such, but I think I've posted enough.
"But here steps in Satan, the eternal rebel, the first free-thinker and emancipator of worlds. He makes man ashamed of his bestial ignorance and obedience; he emancipates him, stamps upon his brow the seal of liberty and humanity, in urging him to disobey and eat of the fruit of knowledge." ~Mikhail Bakunin

I used to be kind of anti-feminist. I made sexist jokes all the time and got annoyed by feminists. Nowadays I think that I wanted to be liked by these sexist jackasses that were like "oh you're so laid-back about this feminist shit, that's soooo cool".

Oh yeah, I used to somehow tend to catholicism. When I was 14, I was like, the Bible is cool and I'm gonna lose my virginity after marriage. Obviously, it didn't work out. Good for me.

Someone who posts on failchan's /b/ board.
I used to be on there too, in 2005. Embarrassing times.
The revolutionary despises public opinion. He despises and hates the existing social morality in all its manifestations. For him, morality is everything which contributes to the triumph of the revolution. Immoral and criminal is everything that stands in its way.
