Just to add to your point on how selfish or otherwise internally focused emotions can break people away from reactionary ideologies. I was pushed to the left starting in highschool because I came to the conclusion that Musk was an irredeemable fuckweasle circa 2015 and similarly Trump sets off too many of my “No bad” instincts that in 2016 I started to drift away from the reactionary ideology I was raised on. Note it took till about 2019 for everything to solidify into the proto version of my current ideology but still.
Though to call my internal systems of morality and ethics an ideology is rather generous given the fact its basically me being a feral asshole proposing to kill/maim/torture politicians and billionaires until ideally I run out of piss rags to commit crimes against humanity on. As ive said in the past, I am not better than my ancestors and given how they were bandits and slavers that’s saying s lot. But hey at least I want to kill people who mostly deserve it.
