As I posted last year, my old ex best friend has come back into my life. He used to be cool as fuck, he was charismatic and funny and pretty progressive for 1998. But then he did was all (nearly) all beneficiaries of generational wealth do, and became a massive reactionary, conspiracy theory knobhead.

I should have listened to my not cishet white friends and dumped him asap. I definitely let him say shit that I would never tolerate with another adult. Hanging out with him felt like work. But I felt that I owed him a lot because he was there all through my nervous young man years.

Not surprisingly he’s antivaxx, and into all the alternative therapies that chuds are into like ice baths and ivermectin. I help my tongue for years about his absolutely fraudulent medical business because it was convenient and easy and I was being nice. And now he’s pushing me and my gf to get involved, and not in a chill way either.

I should have just treated fascists like they deserve. Sorry for letting an absolute bigot be in my life because it was convenient for me.
