I have a friend who would totally get this joke... and then lecture me about how we're all living in fear and COVID isn't bad and no one should wear a mask and you're infringing on his rights to wear a mask around him and other nonsense.
Honestly, if we hadn't been through a lot of shit together in our teens and twenties, I wouldn't be friends with him. We have a deep bond, but he's a fucking moron.
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"
