... in the conversations I've been having with this dude I mentioned in my response to you above. Literally exactly this.

It's mindblowing !! Fucking mindblowing. And infuriating. Pointing out his very clear and very obvious hypocrisy only makes him more defensive somehow. I can't get my mind around any of this. It dominates my thoughts. I've tried every strategy I can think of. Nothing works.

Literally after spending months trying to calmly explain systemic racism/police brutality/white supremacy/etc. to him, with MOUNTAINS of historical evidence, context, data, podcasts, documentaries, books, theses, articles, etc. (and all he's provided thus far has been like 3 thinkpieces "this sums up how I feel," a couple cherrypicked data points about "violent crime" and "fatherless homes," and one report he hadn't even read yet), this motherfucker had the nerve the other day to tell me that all I've given him has only served to "reinforce {his} beliefs."

It made my blood boil which is what these kind of people thrive on I guess.
