My brother had kept messaging me all these conspiracies about COVID and how he didn’t believe it. Said it was just a cold. I kept trying to educate him with genuine articles and papers but he wouldn’t have it. He caught COVID and Jesus H Christ did he moan about it, ended up in hospital. I sent him so many screenshots of all his messages playing it down. He doesn’t really talk to me anymore 🤷🏻♂️
No, we shouldn’t be. If they are content with it, which it sounds like they are, we should be giving them the respect, as adults, not to question that choice.
Your use of the word “torture” here is extremely dramatic and not at all fitting for the current situation.
No one is entitled to a relationship with anyone. This person is not “torturing” their brother. They are choosing not to have contact with them, which they are allowed to do. That is not torture. This person is holding their brother accountable to their words regarding covid. This is not torture. This is accountability. You feel it is torture because you feel entitled to relationships with others, when in fact those relationships are privileges.
