I feel there is very little we can do individually to change people’s minds or turn them away from fascism, or even to get them to stop turning their own brains into soup, but you can still show them there are consequences to their actions.
Telling my own friends / relations what I think of them and cutting ties with them has done nothing to bring them back in line with normal human values, but at least I am not burdened with the guilt of my association, and maybe one day enough people will cut them off that the loneliness gets to them and they begin to re-evaluate their lives.
It is literally the least I can do. Any sadness I felt was heartbreak that they could be so shitty to begin with.
I think there are levels to this shit, i’ll absolutely tell them they are full of shit, but let them do it. Obviously if they are materially doing something (or in position of power) - then fuck them.
Like my grandma was anti commie and pro-israel (fucking somehow considering she was antisemitic before), i still was at her hospital bed when she was ill.
And also if you take completely uncompromising position on this - you may end in a cult.
