  • I actually do not alienate, but I do criticize when necessary.

    I have a close relative who took the red pill and is all in on the manosphere. Sometimes he sends me, and I’m not even kidding, 30 messages in a day about all the manosphere content he watches; but we still hang out and talk. I don’t comment on everything he sends me if it is something we have already debated over. If it is something different or something I find to be egregious, I do call him out on it.

    To be fair, some days are harder than others to hear his bullshit, and I take a break and mute his messages for a while. I feel overall I still value him as a person and it is important to interact with him. However, I can also empathize with those that want nothing to do with someone who holds those opinions.















  • It is peak capitalism, but not really the fault of the OP or anyone that shops on Amazon. Under capitalism there is no ethical consumption because by default the workers are being screwed over. Not only that, but capitalism incentivizes monopoly and that’s exactly what Amazon accomplished in the online retail market.
