I recently learned (in my mid-40s) that I've been figuring this out the hard way most of my life.

I always diagram the sentence in my head, as in: The subject is fear, the object is Rush, so it's 'whom.'
My wife has a simple grammar rule that if him/her works then it's whom, if she/he fits better then it's who.

I feel like my primary school teachers did me dirty.

It's always great to learn more. Next you can relearn colons.

"In modern English usage, a complete sentence precedes a colon, while a list, description, explanation, or definition follows it." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_(punctuation)
