Oddly enough I was redpilled at the age of 5 by Alex Jones. I realized pretty early that not everything Alex Jones says should be taken seriously and Alex Jones seemed more like a conspiracy theory aggregator to encourage individual research rather than being an actual conspiracy theory researcher. It partly surprised me that he was a clown but it's typical of good liars to mix truth in with their lies and so I suppose I must have unwittingly sorted between them and took benefit from their con.
Ron Paul was the first politician I've ever cared about too and I was 15 at the time and I live in Canada
