I've the read the stories about your brother in law over the past year or two and I have to ask: Where's your wife's sister in all of this? Is she on the verge of leaving him or is she shut down about it or is she on the same trip he is or what's going on there?

Completely shut down about it. She's still on good terms with my wife and I, talks to us regularly, we've seen her in person a few times lately. We don't bring up anything like "Hey where's your husband at?" because it's pointless, we all know where he is.

She's definitely quieter than she used to be, never talks about doing anything with her husband. I asked her if they wanted to go to a concert with us next spring since I'd get tickets for us, she just said "Yeah, I'll go. My husband won't."

That sucks. What was he like before he went down this path? How old is he? Has he ever displayed any overt signs of mental illness before? Do you think he was always kind of a fascist nutjob but didn't feel like he had social permission to express it until the past few years?

I fell down a conspiracy theory hole in my early 20s after 9/11 but I couldn't imagine myself ever alienating friends or family over it.

I also miss the days you could discuss conspiracies.

As a kid I could watch the X-Files and see a storyline where they used the smallpox vaccine to make alien/human hybrids but not immediately think "Oh this must be happening in real life, too!"

Like using this same logic I should have super powers based on the number of bug bites I've sustained in my life, statistically at least one of them was radioactive.

They used to be fun. You could sit around and get stoned with your friends and shoot the poo poo about JFK or aliens or 9/11 or whatever and everything was fine. Nobody made it their identity or voted because of it or made plans to bomb a pizzeria about it.

Nearly all my family is 'pilled in one way or another but my middle brother takes the cake by growing in to a legitimate, straight up nazi. The last time I talked with him was in January after the attack on the capitol. He thinks there were 2 million people at the rally and the ones that attacked the capitol were actually secret Antifa who have sleeper cells all over the country. Also, antifa infiltrated the police, that's why they let them in to the building without any resistance.

He claims he isn't racist but says "The blacks" a lot.



Oh, and he likes lolicon.



He believes that pornography of real women drains you of your energy. Hentai is okay because it's not real women and hentai is made by men so he doesn't have to worry about his energy

Is drawn child pornography a crime in the US?
