Yeah I have a couple. One is Jordan Peterson pilled or was and likes Rogan and Alex Jones but doesn't agree with everything they say, the other got pretty into pizzagate.

I honestly think it's good to know a few so the idea of right-wing identity doesn't become some avatar of drooling hatred. It's good to know that there are a lot of people who disagree with you that don't do that because they are fundamentally evil, but well-intentioned and temporarily wrong.

Most people aren't lockstep ideological warriors but have incoherent and esoteric views on things. Living in the hyperpropagandized imperial core doesn't make it easy to find your way to the left.

Not everybody who leans right is a racist, transphobic psycho. A lot are smart, good people who if you ask them what they'd want people's lives like in a perfect world isn't really that far from what we want - just for various reasons either don't think it's possible to build that world, don't think we can afford to do it now, unconvinced that left politics is an avenue to achieve it, or whatever.

Rather than cast everyone from my life who disagrees with me I'd rather be friends with a wide variety of kind and interesting people and be a force that pushes them left.
