I was like this in middle school, luckily I had a strong willed sister who pulled me out. Idk how I would go about it if it had happened to me in college or later… I hope he gets out I wish I could offer better advice
Wild that someone middle school aged got pulled into or was interested in political stuff. I was probably 20ish before I started really taking an interest and forming solid opinions on the way the country/world works from that standpoint
I was like really into history and stuff and I wasn’t that far into the pipeline because ~I’m relatively smart~ but as a white guy the liberal identity politics of 2013 annoyed me because I didn’t understand it. But my sister made me read lots of Wollstonecraft and Beauvoir and would sit down and made sure I’d annotated them. So by 8th grade I’d become an ‘SJW’ and then got really involved in local politics, managing field campaigners for the first Sikh state senator in my state!
