#but the cons is that sometimes you hear the most bizarrely faulty understanding of the world

there is this guy i know, we are in same general friend group. and like, i dont want to be petty and i do feel bad since he's not a bad person but he is an utter idiot! like, dude once had a legit mental health episode over a tv show. i think he still deserves support but the fact he gets upset so much over it kinda shows the guy got slightly skewed priorities and a rather myopic view of the world. and in another unrelated conversation dude is shown to think that companies are like people. that new and smaller businesses can still change their morals before its too late. im a marxist, so imagine my feeling hearing something so... undialectical coming out of someone i regard as a friend. he was just so. dumb! but he's actually a decent guy so im mostly just letting him figure shit out on his own. it sucks for me though. this is my problem here. i dont leave people alone, if theyre wrong i have a need to correct them, making fun of them behind their backs doesnt feel good, but me correcting ppl often comes across as cruel and demeaning instead of kind.
