It's so hard to wrap my head around too. I know I grew up around much much more radical folks than your average westerner but still had to get over some internalized brainworms as I grew more mature but I never found it hard to be self critical and have always strove to be able to put myself in others shoes or challenge accepted narratives. On that last part I thank my parents and stepdad for inoculating me pretty well against bourgeois/imperialist propaganda. I remember I got called a lib quite a few times on the old CTH subreddit, but instead of telling everyone else they were wrong and acting smug or superior I dug into their claims and realized "oh shit I have totally been misinformed on or had the most important bits of almost all of history omitted. Fuck me, time to take my ass back to school".
