I am posting this on behalf of my older brother, whom he tried to take his own life and now our family is now in shambles.

I always enjoy when people who can't write feel the need to try and be formal and instead just spew nonsense.

Idiots think using ultra-formal language makes them more credulous credible because they're idiots and they assume everyone else is just as confused by fancy language as they are.

Whom is just what you use for direct or indirect objects. Who for he/she/they, whom for him/her/them. The irony is that not only is the "he" unnecessary in her sentence, but she should be using "who", not "whom".

Is "who" correct because the clause after the comma is independent? It sounds weird but isn't "I" the subject?

"he" is throughly r-slurred, though

The clause is describing the older brother. If the clause were a sentence on its own, then "he" would be used instead of "who". I don't know the explicit syntax rules behind this but that's my reasoning for why "who" is used.

I guess it comes down to subject of the clause as opposed to subject of the sentence. The bona fide subject of the whole sentence is OP making the post online.

Frick this. We should just retire the word "whom". Give me Spanish as a lingua franca instead. That would eradicate so many problems and we'd all be having so much more s*x and stuff.
