For a lot of terminally online edgy teens, it all starts as edgy jokes. Like using the n-word, joking about the Holocaust, etc. The problem is that they will be associating with true believers. Their “sense of humor” is off-putting to most people so they retreat further into their echo chambers. The line gets blurry. Time passes and they’ve been pretending to be a fascist for so long that it’s no longer pretend, it’s just who they are.
Remember how pepe the frog, the silly 4chan character, literally turned into a symbol of racism and fascism? It’s this but for real people.
Oh yeah definitely :3… I mean with that guy it just started with being obsessed with the military, and then it was ww2 tactics, and then ww2 nazi tactics, and then suddenly there are swastikas drawn everywhere… so at least some of it was totally going through the nazi pipeline

Wouldn’t be surprised if he got his wish to become a cop.
