Books to BTFO my local faux-Buddhist hipster?

Give us a taste of his arguments / spoutings?

Recommending books to someone who won't read the right ones seems a waste of effort.

Just BTFO his wokeness directly. What's he got?

Point out his hypocrisy by pointing out his materialism despite being a self-proclaimed Buddhist.

This works for almost any religion. Also, hipster may claim to be a wokelaity, not operating under monk precepts.

Any extremist view, philosophical, political, or otherwise, is a sign of immaturity. Overly ideological, not pragmatic . Buddhism is extreme in the sense of extreme humility, and its anti-action views. Desire is a natural part of being human, trying to quell it will always be unnatural. The best ethics to live your life is according to the Nicomachean Ethics. That is, against extremes of any kind.

You don't know what 'desire' and 'suffering' are when it comes to Buddhism. 'Pragmatic' is an ideological decree as any other. Extremism depends on where you sit. Buddhism is the Middle Way, moderate within the Dharmic tradition, a path between asceticism and slavery.

Hey OP, if you can pull this off, it will piss him off no end

>Unflappable
>Beyond influence of flattery or contempt
>Beyond intimidation or awe
>Acceptance of his cuckbeggery
>Ready to teach when he is willing to learn
The down side is, if he is truly a poser, nothing but a crisis will shake him out of his wheel of cope. He will have something glib and platitudinous to excuse all the fail he commits. Could take years.

AND

Unless you are a serious buddhist yourself, he'll likely dismiss your criticism as mere intellectualism, not "practice".
