    My ex got radicalized on Stormfront and accused me of “muddying his bloodline”.

    And yes he did eventually realize that some of that was bullshit, he is not like he was before he got propagandized but not as bad as he was in the thick of it.

        White power nonsense. He ended up speaking a whole language I didn’t understand. Was absolutely convinced he had some deep understanding of reality that I did not. I think he still holds on to some of it but quitting alcohol helped and getting a job helped, he sort of had to hit bottom to bounce back.
