      Rich parents and lives a comfy life. Although, he’s invested most of his wealth in bitcoin a couple months ago, so idk how that’s going for him

        Been there. I had a comfortable life and bad reactionary views. I want to say this guy is salvageable but it might take him having to lose a lot and interact with people that aren't white and cishet wasps to come around.

          This is what I was going to say. Sounds like a privileged shithead, they will probably need a metaphorical kick to the nuts to loosen things up in that noggin and allow them to see their own exploitation and precarity.

        over the last two months BTC has dropped about... 12%

        it sounds like your friend's material interests are pretty heavily weighted towards justifying his own social position

        Haha omg the price of btc jas basically never been higher, who's your mate goong to blame when that doesnt work out?

        sincerely i think you need to either tell this person to pull their head in, or take a fucking hike. You cant let these comments slide, its not worth keeping people like this in your life

        To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.

        Cut him off, but tell him he's gone psycho. You can't deal with his fucked up bigoted brain worms anymore.

        Spoiled ass fuckin brat

        Make sure he knows why you're cutting him off.
