    Do you know if the doctrine he’s been taken in by is religious or secular in nature?

    I ask because I could recommend some books you could get him that just might get the kid to think a little harder about things.

    For context, I teach philosophy and religion for some community colleges and have been looking for ways to get these Gen Z alt right boys to quit the propaganda.

    While a lot of them seem to be lost causes, there are some who can be challenged to read outside their sphere, so long as what I give them isn’t too overtly “other.”

    Depending on what he’s into, there might be some authors who know how to talk to an oppositional reader.
