    My ex was a chill stoner with a good work ethic when we got together and we had many good years, then he lost job after job, stopped looking, got radicalized reading Stormfront, then eventually physically abusive. I could not convince him to seek help, since he got so paranoid.

    People change, sometimes you change in opposing directions.

      that isn’t change, that’s failure to take responsibility for yourself. which makes for a shitty person, and a shitty partner.

      hence why most radicalized people are shitty human beings. de-radicalizing requires people to realize they are responsible for their choices, and that the world is not some external force oppressing them.
