"Slow Heat asks on Youtube, “Hi Caitlin — question — I have friends, some lifelong, who I don’t associate with anymore because, while maybe not supporting, are at the very least ambivalent towards the genocide. I just can’t be around people who are more concerned with what show or restaurant they’re trying next. Am I the asshole?”

If I may, I'd like to inject my two cents.......

One SHOULD want QUALITY over QUANTITY.

Those people who you'd WANT as friends, SHOULD share the same MORAL VALUES, as you do.

As we mature, throughout life, it is a Natural thing that one 'loses friends'......those that were NEVER MEANT to be your friends.......these individuals will, Naturally, be REPLACED by others who will come into your life, that DO share the same moral values, as you do.

So, No.....'Slow Heat' is NOT an asshole; s/he is HUMAN. It's these so-called 'friends'....that care more about the Idiot Box (TV) or where they're going to eat (no doubt) FAKE 'food', who are the assholes........asshole ZOMBIES! ZERO connection to the REAL WORLD. Who the hell wants 'friends' like THAT! One wants REAL friends in the REAL world! lol

Those who tend to be/are 'Materialistic', tend NOT to be worth ones time.
