At a time of personal confusion and pain in my life, Jordan Peterson and the alt right gave me direction and purpose. I eventually realized that purpose was spreading a cruel, antisocial worldview — but not before I inflicted that cruelty on those around me.
Me too as a younger guy in my early 20s. I was failing university and my parents cut me off and life hit me real hard all at once. Fortunately I had a mental breakdown which forced me to reconcile with it all and the most supportive girlfriend (now wife). I climbed out too but damn.
