Friend, I understand it is entirely your choice, but I would recommend against connecting so much identifying information to your account here, or online in general. Age, university, country, general location, family size, family occupations, your brothers age so on. Combined with other hints on your account, it would be relatively easy for a lunatic to put 2 and 2 together if they really wanted to track you down online and find other accounts, or irl. With how many deranged rightists lurk here, it might not be worth it to paint such a big target on yourself.

Stay safe out there comrade.

That “Let The Gays Burn The Quickest” thing feels like something you’d find in Nazis communities or in real intense evangelical communities. But I can’t find another references to the phrase.

My brother isn’t anywhere near the bad and I still only text him a few times a year; talk even less. That’s the nice thing about growing up, you can choose to ignore your family

Considering his views, statements, and character traits, he sounds like a full-on fascist to me.

I am reluctant to call my stepfather an unhinged reactionary, as he abstains from voting and seems to be unimpressed with Trump. Still, he is a propertarian: one time I jokingly told him that ‘it is an established fact that redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor increases poverty’, and he obliviously gave it a thumbs up. I was dumbfounded. Additionally, I once overheard him mocking how East Asians speak, and he referred to a mosque as a ‘goatfucker temple’ (or something like that).

That said, he doesn’t abuse me like my actual father did. He’ll get into an argument with my mom approximately once a year, but he has almost never intimidated me. He sounded intimidating one day when he asked me ‘Where’s our food?’ (I left it upstairs; he hadn’t noticed), but I don’t remember him yelling at me, at least not in anger. My actual father, on the other hand, was more like your brother, only less right‐wing. He died a few years ago, and my mom and I declined to attend his funeral.
