Odds are he was neither the Nazi of his Hawke persona nor the progressive vegan of his Jesse James persona but a psychopath who enjoyed messing with people and found claiming these identities useful to that end.
- SideburnsOfDoom 6y agoYou're not wrong, it's just that I don't think that any of this is incompatible with actually "being a Nazi", in either the classic Germany 1940s edition, or the modern "alt-right neo" 2020s USA edition. The grift is baked in, and always was.
- jstarfish 6y agoYeah...this just sounds like recurrent antisocial behavior to me. No commitment to anyone or anything, not even his own family or sense of identity. I doubt he "enjoyed" messing with others; more like he could not fathom what impact his actions had on them. Narcissists and cult leaders are the ones who "enjoy" messing with others-- and tend to stay in place until the bitter end. This guy was probably just mentally ill but high-functioning. Despite his egregious behavior, I'd bet he never saw this coming.
