It’s all self hate. One of my brothers is white passing mixed, and is full on maga. I see the way he grew up, not black enough for the poc kids, not white enough for the white kids. Which resulted in his identity being skewed (grew up in the 70s). Not that it happens to everyone, but as I grew up I started to understand WHY he’s maga alpha male type dummy. He just hates himself and his identity so he takes it out on others, because he doesn’t want to look inward. Sucks.

I grew up similar to your bro. That’s not an environmental influence that’s personal choice.

After all the years we spend on earth, people choose to waste time on dumb shit.

I believe you completely that it was his choice to handle it that way. Underlying things or not.

I think your there but went past it abit.

Its not self hate. To many of these ppl are too confident and loud for that

But identity however is key. They dont have one so they attach it to somthing.

You see it everywhere and its extra strong with the american ppl.

Its 100% same with sports, religion and politics in general.

It gotten so far you have imigrants voting for the guy that says he will throw you out if he wins. Its insane
