No yeah.. that guy was like an actual fascist defender when it came to stuff like the holocaust.. not denier, defender.. killing children was probably the thing that worried him the least there. I remember when in politics class we were supposed to set up our own political parties and have a mock election for a project he did go full alt-right with it too.. honestly I kinda wonder to what extent he was actually down that rabbit hole, or if a lot of it was just being edgy.. but like.. he was in general also super obsessed with military stuff, and at school during P.E. he'd do various exercises you'd get in the army, with the intention to join after graduation.. either that or the police, he'd talk about both just as much as star wars, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For a lot of terminally online edgy teens, it all starts as edgy jokes. Like using the n-word, joking about the Holocaust, etc. The problem is that they will be associating with true believers. Their "sense of humor" is off-putting to most people so they retreat further into their echo chambers. The line gets blurry. Time passes and they've been pretending to be a fascist for so long that it's no longer pretend, it's just who they are.
Remember how pepe the frog, the silly 4chan character, literally turned into a symbol of racism and fascism? It's this but for real people.
Oh yeah definitely :3.. I mean with that guy it just started with being obsessed with the military, and then it was ww2 tactics, and then ww2 nazi tactics, and then suddenly there are swastikas drawn everywhere.. so at least some of it was totally going through the nazi pipeline
Kinda wonder what he's up to now :3
Wouldn't be surprised if he got his wish to become a cop.
