Asking this here instead of asklemmy because its a political question
Recently I find Hayao Miyazaki as an influential person who has shaped my progressive / left leaning views and I want to what influential thing or person helped shaped or start your progressive / left leaning views.
There was never a left leaning figure for me. I saw all the right leaning people and knew “I never want to be like those creatures”.
I don’t subscribe to hero/figure culture because it makes you blind to their faults and prevents you from bettering yourself.
