My friend went through the reverse of the TC's account. Around 2009 and 2010, he was becoming worryingly far-right and recommended fascist authors to me like Julius Evola. I think it was just a really unfortunate edgelord phase; he was never racist or anything. Later he became an anarcho communist and then once he started arguing with tankies and Marxists online, just plain anarchist.
