I accidentally clicked on facebook the other day. I saw a fascist post by an acquaintance there who has apparently become a fascist since last time I talked to them.
Then I accidentally clicked on facebook today and saw a transphobic fascist post by someone who I don't know who they are but I apparently friended them at some point, only now they seem to have made transphobia their entire identity.
My question is: I have a duty to engage these people, right?
