    I think it's important to point out that it wasn't necessarily quick or easy, the transition having preoccupied his entire undergraduate career.

    What I see that it took to leave his movement was:

    1. Tension and discomfort in the social environment and on a personal level: "experiencing clear and passionate outrage to what I believed from those I interacted with".
    2. A safe space in which to reflect on this tension and finally engage with it alongside friendly people: " many talks with devoted and diverse people there".

    If you want to interpret this coarsely, you could say both "social shaming" and "safe spaces" are efficacious, but in synergy.

    On the other hand, it's almost certainly not scale-able beyond individual cases.

    Also, I failed to predict how that MENTION tag would turn out in the last post. I was trying to reach @Philippus Flavius Homovallumus; and also let me clarify that the connection is the interest in Medieval history scholarship. not that PVC is or was ever a white nationalist.
