A few things.

I was very far radically left. Woke. Antifa. Protester. Academic. The whole thing. I had a complete change in how I make sense of the world. I don’t think I am special or unique, there’s other people who have left the cult too.

Also the consumerism. The woke left, that whole side is completely void of any happiness, pride or gratitude. They obsessively shame themselves, and are smug, and feel intellectually superior. There is no closeness. The relationships are fragile and rely on self censorship. These people are miserable, and it’s a lot easier to sell things to miserable people.
