your comment seems a bit flippant. what i had to do was mute or remove people off my instagram that were behaving as OP described. THAT really helped. “go outside” isn’t a great solution when, say you live in a hyper progressive west coast city and going outside means having to engage with these same concepts and behavior.

I actually think it's good advice. I've had to unfollow a bunch of people on FB, including, sadly, one of my best friends from high school. She posts ~5-6 scold memes every single day, to the point where I was thinking, "Do you really think all your friends are so dumb and/or ethically unevolved that we need to be preached at by you every single day?"

The inner tyrant has come out in full force with the Woke the past couple years. Who knew so many of our acquaintances, and friends and family sadly, couldn't wait to go full Maoist Cultural Revolution?

Maybe send them a one-line "you're in a cult" and a cult recovery help resource links before cutting the off.

At this point, I think that cities are a failed experiment. I used to want to live in a city, but now I would rather live in a small village where I know all of the locals and the community is strong.
