I've pretty much (accidently) burned every bridge I've known by simply laughing and shit-posting during this whole event; even the guy who I best-manned for at his wedding, a dude I'd take bullets for couldn't fucking handle me being an annoying sperg (as I've always been). I'm not big-dicking here (I'm on the low end of the group), but I know some very smart and well-to-do guys; scientists, engineers, people who speak 3+ languages and the like... every single fucking one is willing to take a knee and offer their white necks to absolve them of their privilege. We got into a bit and I had a case of red-pill tourettes and told them I don't want to watch our country go the way of Rhodesia, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, etc. First reply I get "You're racist for calling it Rhodesia. It's had a proper name since the 70's." It only got worse from there, but not once did they deny that countries were once and successful and the strength of diversity ruined shit; they didn't care about that or what will happen to the USA, the biggest problem was how they couldn't believe I was a racist. They want their country to be pleasant and help everyone, even at the cost of hurting people who put effort in to make it good.
I don't know if it's something in the water, the craft beers, subliminal messages in media, or maybe there really are people who are born without souls or some kind of inner monologue that let's them know when they're being taken for a ride or if they've lost their survival instincts; but something is wrong, on a massive fucking scale.
