This is a bit of a venting post. So basically, my little cousin (who I'm basically a big bro to) has had this one friend for a long time. The two of them have always been really close, but since the George Floyd riots this friend has gone off the deep end. She starting talking about "white privilege," how "all men are trash," and even once gave me a mini lecture because I made a joke about how lighthearted male feminists are kinda creepy.

To me, this was honestly more amusing than annoying. But now I'm just mad. Apparently this friend had started spamming my cuz with political tiktoks and dumb stuff like that, and eventually my cuz just asked her to stop, and said she didn't care about that kind of stuff. She didn't say she disagreed, she just said she didn't care about politics.

After that, this person who she has been best friends with for years just completely ghosted her. Later she admitted that she cut ties because she "couldn't be friends with someone so privileged." And I know she's not the only one with this mentality. With the "silence is violence," and "it's not enough to be passively non-racist" crap, it's the mainstream view of the left. It's not just a sin to disagree. It's a sin to do anything other than fully submit to the cult of BLM.

It's just sad because this situation is so avoidable, and because I know other people are going through this kind of thing as well. If you have similar stories, please post them below, I'd love to hear them. I know there are a lot of crazies out there, but I trust common sense will win in the end.
