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?

    “Go on a ride along with me and you’ll see what I deal with every night.” I asked if I could bring my gun for protection for other people against him and he shut that down real fast.

    And he is mixed Hispanic and a decent chunk Native American. So it just even more so is like wtf? No understanding of history or materialism at all

      I've run into fascist army types who are black and indigenous, they joined the army hoping to police the border with machine guns. People often think imperialism, white supremacy, etc are one sided, but it's more like a ladder. Conservatives love hierarchy.
