He's dead to me. I switch rapidly between hoping his zombifying body dies ASAP, and missing the person he was before Nazis brainwashed and stole him.

He was a shitty friend who gatekept random things, like listening to bands in his mid-twenties. Much due to toxic masculinity. I found him quite cringey. Now he's a Nazi.

Yet I mourn his cringe ass each day. A whole person was lost to Nazis. I'm cycling, and I need new outlooks on this situation to get out of this rut. My self care is suffering.

    He’s weird because on the one hand he would say some bigoted shit, on the other he would get viscerally angry if other people would do the same, especially in public and in a way to harm or alienate someone else. Like he would be comfortable with saying a slur used against gay people, but if he saw someone do that and in front of a gay person, he would flip.

    Your friend sounds like a very decent person. Like, he’s already starting from a more humane position than 70% of Americans. Most say bigoted things in private and would not at all speak out if someone said something bigoted in public.
