This is not the average lib with just annoying parroting of usual stuff, this is outright disgusting and vile. We’re from ex-Yugolsavia and I maybe mentioned that most of my family is based(not all of them, but most), he is one of, if not the worst case.

First off he is 16 and was ‘‘based’’ before in a sense that he supported communism in a form of USSR memes, Stalin winning in WW2 memes, changing ‘‘my’’ to ‘‘we’’, wearing ushanka etc, that was in 2019. Even then he always hated China but supported USSR, DPRK, Vietnam etc, he always had something against China specifically for some reason and parroted average bullshit: Tinnnmen Square failed color revolution, censorship etc while thinking that Japan is so much better. Then he started to show signs of antisemitism and sending nazi WW2 videos while saying that USA should bomb Israel and was happy when recent events happened(not because it’s a settler ethno state commiting genocide but because Jews live there).

He became more and more deranged as years went by and started to use N word, hating on migrants and Muslims, supports Kyle Rittenhouse(evem having his name on Steam account) and Andrew Tate claiming that the first was doing self-defense and the latter isn’t a rapist and human trafficker because they ‘‘lied about him including the victims’’, then when he heard about coup in Niger, he was happy because he hates France but then went away and said that it’s still not good because ‘‘blacks now rule the country’’, talks how Call of Duty totally isn’t a political game and that ‘‘everyone just sees politics in everything.’’ He continued to say that communism killed billions trillions even after being proven wrong multiple times with sent videos, educational content, lecturing from the family and even CIA documents. He just continues to parrot that ‘communism doesn’t work’ over and over again after being proven otherwise.

He sent me and family members videos of LGBT flags being burned, videos about ‘‘Jewish judeo-bolshevism’’, Jewish conspiracy, racist slogans and talking points before everyone blocked him. Then complained about Lenin talking bad things about ‘‘muh Europeans’’, watched some nazi movie Europa the last battle, made fun of trans people who killed themselves and videos of LGBT people being arrested, told that women shouldn’t have right to vote and instead ‘‘should stay home and take care of kids’’ but communism ‘‘invented’’ feminism to make women work and that Yugoslavia was bombed because mostly women voted for Clinton. He now continues to parrot that ‘‘communism is fascism’’ over and over again while thinking that word ‘fascism’ is used for everything someone doesn’t like.

The absolute last straw before cutting all contact with him was him posting about Pinochet in social media and when someone in the comments told him everything about him including zoophilia(he knows what that means) and incest part, he told him that he deserves the same and that he should be thrown to the dogs. I completely cut off all the contact I had left with that bastard after that but the thing is that his family lives in the house next to us in village and we see them everytime we go there, we’re extremely close family and all of them are very good people including his sister so there is no way to just never see him again and besides, I still don’t want him to bite the bullet during the revolution or get beaten to a pulp by someone because he’s still close family so he must be saved somehow(even if he reached the point of no return) before either something happens to him or he ends up in prison one day for physically harassing minorities.

What even caused this and can be done with him?

    Looks like American rightists keep poisoning other countries.

    Sounds like he is trying to be an edgy contrarian teenager given that he doesn’t seem to have any specific belief other than whatever will cause the most outrage. The more you try to lecture him the more he will push back. Does he have many friends?

      He has a few in school and online but I don’t know if he is openly like this in school/public places or just in private and social media. I know about people triying to be ‘‘edge-lords’’ by purpose, but this is just disgusting in every possible way and nothing like what I’ve seen before or heard about before.

        It might help him to get some hobbies/interests outside of politics, gaming and the internet. Does he like sport or music?

    Sounds like teenage 4chan (or similar) contamination. Going to work and related less time for internet sometimes cure those, but unfortunately most just transform from young chud to adult dronie and then to old chud.

    Hopefully he’s just going through a really obnoxious contraroian phase because he’s 16 (tho he’s still being a massive asshole.)

    Imo, the family needs to stand together and lovingly, but firmly, not stand for his bullshit. Make it clear that there will be consequences for shit behavior and that your family is not about the hate he’s spewing.

    There is only so much you can do as a relative. His parents need to stand up to this bs. Have you spoken to them about it? Do they know how bad it’s gotten?

    I assume this kid and your family are in the Baltics right now? If that’s the case all of his behavior probably feels free of consequence to him because he’s not around openly LGBT people or minorities.

    Imo He’s doing this for negative attention and to be friends with awful people that he views as strong. I imagine that he’s in with a bad crowd and he was mocked for his communist beliefs.

      No one I know was like this even in his age, idk if there is hope for him but I certainly hope there is.

      Yes, he needs to feel the consequences, his parents have no idea how bad it is because he’s doing most of this online. But I don’t know if I want to snitch him, I mean I want him to feel the consequences so fucking much but idk if it’s the right thing to tell them, it came to the point that I don’t care anymore and will do it.

      No, we’re from ex-Yugoslavia and most of our family is communist/socialist oriented and loves Tito, even the reactionary cases are nowhere near this bad, just few classic libs and conservatives in distant family. But he has one friend from Baltic online.

      He is probably hanging out with bigots and people like that online.

    Remove him completely from the internet at all costs. Get him new hobbies and have him meet people and groups. Get him volunteering in animal shelters, homeless shelter or other organizations.

    If possible financially, get him to focus on education or get him enrolled in a local community college or post secondary education program.

    Education, education, education, education, education. He needs to expand his worldview and learn.
