He needs someone like you for sure. It seems a lot of people who get radicalized double down so hard they lose their friends and family and then can only justify doubling down further due to the Sunken Cost fallacy.

It's like with flat earthers: "well I stopped talking to everyone I cared about over this so if it's not true then that was all for nothing"
