How tf does one become ultraleft? (hexbear.net)

I'm almost convinced that people don't become ultraleft; they end up ultraleft. What type of confusion, abuse, bigotry, whatever- it doesn't matter- turns someone into an ultraleft?

I'm at my wits end, are they just neoliberals that haven't accepted that fact?

I think the unkind interpretation of ultras is that they're western government plants, which I'm sure at least some of them are.

They definitely kept me from reaching my full communist awakening for a while. I was stuck in radlibville because these types would come out and bring up red scare propaganda or whatever mistakes they made and be like "SeE??? iT dOeSnT wOrK!!!!" so it kinda just made me feel like ????? I guess you can't do anything but vote then???? Idk (how convenient.... ) thonk
