To a degree where you can stomach it of course, having friends with opposing views, especially politically, is very healthy and beneficial.
IMHO...
- 100%! I have far right oriented friends and I'm totally OK with their views. We argue and shit but I respect them and they respect me and that's all that countsrenderedred
- One of my really close and dear friends is a fascist. For real.renderedred
- Same with religion, I'm an atheist and have a few very religious friends. That's fine too.renderedred
- whatever...oey_oey
- +_-oey_oey
- Fascists... that’s probably past the point of something I can stomach. I have conservative and religious friends.jagara
- It’s beneficial of course until their views are so disgustingly bigoted, racist, hateful and fear based nonsense that they can’t be stomached.monospaced
- Hence the stomach part.jagara
- i get what you guys are saying, but as long as the discourse is civil and respectful, i have no problem. and it is, even with the fascist. other than that...renderedred
- he's a great guy.renderedred
- he helped me more than once in various ways knowing fully what i believe. for example. and vice versa.renderedred
- 'he's a great guy'
absolute peak liberalism. all fash should follow their leaders and be hanging upside-down from lamp posts.face_melter - make them live in fear and crawl back under their fucking rocks. and if you're 'ok' with them, then you're complicit in their actions. sorry, not sorry.face_melter

- To be clear, I never meant completely diametrically opposed views. That's probably not possible, at least bot for for most people.jagara

- yeah but nah .. I have a very old friend who we have been drifting apart for a while now.. then called me a couple of weeks back and he has totally drunkenautoflavour
- koolaid and to be honest, i lost all will to engage. he has sent me a few messages and i have left it on unread. people can have opposing views, but yepautoflavour
- my life is busy enough as it is with people i dont have to struggle with, the thought of now dealing with this, especially given its not even his country, nope.autoflavour
- was disappointing tho.. made me question so much of our friendship now as I sense he has been like this the whole time and just hiding it..autoflavour
- and what kind of friendship can it be if one person has to hide who they truly are.. regardless of political flavour. bad taste for sureautoflavour
- and very disappointing.. you dont have to agree with everyone, but red hat is not my vibe at allautoflavour
