Not a sibling but a good friend from school. He was nerdy and weak and I took him under my wing, protected him from bullies, etc. He was slowly becoming mini me until he went to college, now he’s a raging commie who I constantly argue with. I’ve destroyed him in every single argument, and every time he will either admit I’m right or tell me he’ll look more into it. ALWAYS comes back saying either I never beat him, that he in fact beat me in the argument, or that he found “new information” proving me wrong that he then refuses to provide. Once got him to admit that the millions killed by Stalin were “justified” as a means to an end. (Now he outright claims no one died)
I once asked him how he knows the Holodomor is fake. His sources? A book written by Stalin himself and “evidence” provided by the Soviet government. I’ve given up on him, I miss my friend.
Sounds like he has a circle of friends just like him at uni. Weak and nerdy and leftist, because they lack self-esteem. It's no surprise he stays the way he always has been. I used to be weak and nerdy and with low self-esteem as a kid, but I too had some good influences, which taught me to man the fuck up, a slow and painful process. Fortunately I have always placed a great importance on researching my own facts, which helped.
He does actually. I’ve seen a video of them hanging out, they’re all ugly betas. They ganged up and knocked their only non-commie friend out (kicked him in the fucking head when he was down) for daring to disagree with them on some commie shit.
I’m glad you broke through and didn’t become like him. In the end you’ll be better off for knowing you were strong enough to pull through.
