I had a friend who fell into the far right crowd, even though he's a brown immigrant. He constantly post far right content on Facebook. But looking back, he's had that streak in him and it was perhaps only matter a time that he finally succumbed.

    I think it has to be an empathy thing.

    My older brother hates black people and "mexicans" (he means anyone with brown skin)

    For context: My entire family wasn't born in the US... We are all immigrants...

    He also try to taunt me like "when you grow up, you're gonna be a loser and marry a [n-word] or a 'mexican' since you are a loser just like them"

    What The Fuck?

    This is the least crazy thing he did, when he was like 10 or 11 and I was 5 or 6, he used plastic zipties and tied me up.

    What The Fuck?!?

    Always picking on me.

    He used to put these pin things on the floor with the sharp pointy thing facing upwards, as a "prank" so I would accidentally step on it and get hurt.

    Like WTF is this psycopathy?

    But you see my point right? Lack of empathy. That's how people become right wing.
