> She believes crazy things

I understand your frustration, Simone, but these are the times in which what in your area was called, I believe, "Come Cristo Comanda" (expression for "properly"), was replaced as "Obsessive Compulsive Tendency". Superficiality, the bar. Communication level, the shout.

Your resort is discussion.

Removed the illusionary veil, the same figure that twenty years ago shouted "Education, Education, Education" as The Cure - and it is -, now uses the qualification of "idiots" (or similar) for (apparently) people who take decisions he cannot understand. Clearly, education is interaction, communication, and the latter is its opposite.

By the way: you are calling the friend with «extreme ... views», «very intelligent». If she is intelligent, how can she now believe lunacies? She should have become a lunatic to believe lunacies. There is full appearance of miscommunication in your relation. If you are right, you should be able to convince her. If she is, she should be able to convince you. Ask her to convince you. You don't seem to be debating.

Yes that was read. OP did not state "do not provide advice".
