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?
as someone with plenty of dysfunction in the family, I've gotten a lot out of the subverted trope:
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." (the family we forge in life is worth more than the one we are born into).
