Yes, it's a common trait. I think once they go down the road of not believing any 'MSM' (hate that phrase), they just cherry-pick what they want to believe. I've had two friends of 30+ years block me digitally and irl for taking them to task on what they believe to be 'real'. Could ruminate for a long time on how we got to this stage, but that's for another thread. My sympathies to you anyway.

Thanks for your sympathy, I appreciate that. I have considered blocking ‘my mate’ but I need his help on occasion. The only point I have noticed recently is his views are becoming more right wing which I find odd. I mentioned to my wife that if we were in the USA I could see him as an isolationist living in the woods with camo gear on. He is currently stocking up on supplies for the blackouts!

That’s a very good guess! He is - again another source of annoyance to me as he is and has been super careful to avoid contact with people for something which, according to him, is a myth.
My head still hurts.
