You should absolutely cut off your shitty friends and family members (hexbear.net)

I feel there is very little we can do individually to change people's minds or turn them away from fascism, or even to get them to stop turning their own brains into soup, but you can still show them there are consequences to their actions.

Telling my own friends / relations what I think of them and cutting ties with them has done nothing to bring them back in line with normal human values, but at least I am not burdened with the guilt of my association, and maybe one day enough people will cut them off that the loneliness gets to them and they begin to re-evaluate their lives.

It is literally the least I can do. Any sadness I felt was heartbreak that they could be so shitty to begin with.

Idk, I just keep my fun crypto-fascist friends around for entertainment with shared interests or hobbies

Never go to them for emotional support or anything

The insufferable reddit liberals had to go though

To clarify, I also have non-reactionary close friends that I can go to for emotional support lmao

Switch it up sometime! Go to the reactionaries for emotional support and talk about gamer shit or whatever with your not shitty friends. I for one would just not have any shitty friends.
