So, my dad is “hardcore Conservative”. All he does is watch videos where the Conservative right-winger is portrayed as “always right” and he “owns”/“defeats” the liberal or leftist.

All the videos I hear about are mocking Arabs and Latinos, immigrants, and queer people, it’s so annoying. And he goes on these rants about how evil they are, too, and he would probably think I was “forced” to become a lesbian and that the school I’m in “made” me.

    When he’s not using his computer use his account to watch some more wholesome videos like wood working, gardening or car modification, and delete as much of the nonsense from his history as you can, the algorithm will then sort him out

    He’s an addict. He gets little hits of oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins from watching videos that confirm his view of the world and his place in it. I’m not sure what advice to give you. Yo might try looking up de-radicalization groups, or someplace like Life After Have or Parents for Peace.

    I’ve got some friends who also became Zionists following that same pipeline. A few formerly friends of mine think that Zohran Mamdani wants to completely extinguish and eradicate all whites in New York and that the elections have been frauded because he thinks that even illegal immimgrants voted with the only purpose of exterminating all whites in a genocide aimed at creating an Islamic state and then invade america to remove it from history. Crazy shit

    You should help your dad before he does something really really dumb
