Same happened to me. I got radicalised by /pol/ as a teenager but luckily I "hid my power level" so I didn't fuck up any irl relationships.
I also got big into conspiracy theories over the covid period but after seeing none of them come true (no vaccine mass deaths, great reset nothingburger, lockdowns ended, 2020 being rigged was never proven in court) I stopped thinking about the world in simple terms. It took me a couple of more years to fully accept that everything else I had 'learned' about the world was bullshit and "The Experts" generally are right most of the time.
Now I'm a centre-left liberal.
