Yeh, it would be like discovering the way animals are treated in the meat industry and on that basis, resolving to give up food entirely. A reaction is warranted, but we don't need to get crazy here.

I usually get whataboutism as a response from my other liberal friends. That and a combination of ad him attacks and substanceless dismissals of all criticism. Things are feeling a bit lonely on my end, at least in the real world (not social media).

I don't know how you stay sane, frankly. Recently lost my shit there at the idea that if you're not far enough left, you're automatically alt-right.. and now I'm going to have a glass of red 2 hours before normal, and watch the new Pewdiepie video in the foetal position.
