I met some long time friends for pizza and beer tonight and i thought it was a fun night but right before we parted ways the two of them held an intervention with me. They said i was bringing up "socialist stuff" too much and it was making them depressed. They said to keep the conversation exclusively to things like games and anime. That if i didnt stop they didnt want to be friends anymore. Have you guys/gals/nonbinary pals experienced something like this before?
Sometimes people just wanna hang out and not talk about the fact that civilization is gonna collapse on our lifetimes. If I want to keep being friends with them, I tend to respect their wishes.
