My friend. You’re misunderstanding their interactions.

This person isn’t confused. They’re not trying to be good and moral and missing the mark.

They’re a bully. They’re a troll.

They’re being mean on purpose and saying whatever they think will get a reaction from people.

That’s why they keep changing their stances and using uglier and uglier language and taking more and more extreme positions.

They’re not confused they just want to be a bastard and make you upset.
