content: Regarding point #1: He never said he said "what a cuck", he said he thought it. It was an expression of incredulity, and in that context, I see nothing wrong with using the word 'cuck', as it accurately describes what is going on. This post sums up the technical usage of 'cuck/cuckold' quite well, for purposes of the context. Regardless of your opinion of /v/niggers, it's a decent and informative post on the usage of the word, and why it has stuck so firmly in modern usage. Regarding point #2: I know @draco_nite isn't going to want to hear this, but the best thing you can do is wait and see if they bring themselves out of it. Social Justice has become akin to a political cult, surrounding to a lesser extent the smaller cults of personality SocJus has made for itself. Unfortunately, speaking as someone who has lost several friends to cults of many types, (Including Scientology, SocJus, and others) once someone decides to submit themselves to such an ideology, to the point the ideology takes precedence over everything else, the only thing that can bring them back is for them to consciously reject placing the ideology as the most important thing in their life. That is to say, they have to hit rock bottom. In that vein, it's like a mental addiction, in that the addict must desire to help themselves before any healing can begin. I'm currently dealing with such a case, myself. I had a Leftist friend who used to be generally level-headed, but it's to the point now, where I can't even discuss politics, in general, without him getting into a tizzy over having even the slightest of his sacred cows criticized, or ideological myths disproven or debunked. The only way I have found forward to keep the friendship intact, has been to insist upon an exclusion of discussion of politics, lest it blow up into yet another argument where he refuses to acknowledge reality, and I refuse to capitulate to his fantasy-worldview. I hope one day he can pull himself free from the malevolent ideology that has him voting against his own interests, as a male, but until then, there's not much I can do.
