I agree with StarvingMartist, it really is much easier to be an enabler than it is to give a shit about values. It's easier than you might think.
Sure if you want to belittle my point and make a joke, be my guest! Ultimately I can't change your mind so I'm not going to bother trying, just like with my friends and family, I'm going to brush off the dust and keep navigating this complex spiderweb we call life.
I just know I won't be doing it alone and isolated from people just because they have a different viewpoint.
Ironically, you and people who speak like this are the truly belittling ones. It's much harder and more courageous to hold values and stick to them than it is to delude yourself and others into believing bad things really aren't that bad, and that we can all hold hands and laugh it away like anime characters if we just try hard enough.
These things are not mutually exclusive, either. You can absolutely cry laugh over something with an evil nazi boomer. It won't change who they are, though - they need to do that themselves, and comforting platitudes are what they count on people endlessly giving them in order for them never to have a reason to do so.
You and I have very different definitions of sticking to your values.
