Why should he worry about how much he’s thinking about your comment? Isn’t provoking reactions part of posting something like that publicly or was it mainly meant as venting?

I actually agree with his sentiment but wouldn’t really be able to explain what exactly irks me. I think there can be value in reflecting on how relationship dynamics or social environments contribute to people drifting toward more extreme views. That doesn’t mean it’s your fault or that you’re responsible for his choices. But your first comment came across as if you saw yourself as having little or no role in the dynamic at all and I don’t think that’s true.

I think it actually makes sense to think about some of the questions posted by @Ediacarium@feddit.org. You might be able to better understand why you reacted so strongly.
