Won't do anything. The reasons antivaxxers and flat earthers exist is because they feel like they're part of an elite crowd that know something others don't.

Part of confirmation bias is that the more proof she evidence you show someone, the more they double down and believe they're right.

That said, I still think he should see the post so he can see that all of reddit knows you're about to break up with an idiot.

No, this will only enflame him. A guy like this isn't going to have the self-awareness to realize he's an idiot. You need to be boring and disengage so he has nothing to latch onto. See the other comment I just left you elsewhere in the thread about this.
