A young woman named Lucy Biggers used to be an advocate for AOC and a climate change activist. She was recently interviewed by the Free Press and she described how she became red-pilled.
A lot of it had to do with Covid and the associated shutdowns. She saw what the world looked like under those conditions and suddenly realized it would be even worse if we followed the advice of the climate cult.
American Greatness has details:
Lucy Biggers, in an interview with Maya Sulkin for The Free Press, recounted her efforts as a climate change activist and explained why she began questioning the mainstream climate narrative after noticing that catastrophic predictions of climate change-fueled destruction from extreme weather were not happening as predicted.
Biggers told Sulkin that her first doubts about the movement she helped to amplify came during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she saw the effect of lockdowns on lowering society’s amount of carbon emissions, which were reduced by nearly 5 percent.
The prospect of society living locked away in their homes, suffering depression and loss of freedom, for such a small amount of carbon reduction caused Biggers to begin questioning what life would look like with a 100 percent reduction in carbon emissions.
Biggers also recalled how anti-plastic she had been for the previous six years and said that the proliferation of personal protective equipment (PPE), including masks and plastic barriers, caused her to rethink her previous hard stance.
Biggers told Sulkin, “I was like, wait a minute, I’ve been sweating about single use plastic straws for the past five years, and now we’ve proliferated more plastic in the past few months than I’ve seen in my lifetime and looking around, it seems like we’re fine. It looks like society was able to absorb that plastic and the world has not ended.”

If this young woman can see the light, maybe there is hope for more people on the left to do the same.
It is probably safe to say that the Covid shutdowns red-pilled a lot of people in this way.
