I just heard my mom tell my brother, “when you die, you will go outside and garden until your father says you’re done” and it took me a second to realize that my brother was playing a videogame and this was not a theological discussion.
My mom is very proud that her misinterpreted words have been witnessed by the internet. My brother is disappointed that I didn’t post a picture with it so he could become a meme.
A person who can befriend people of any political ideology is someone to avoid.
And they’re so smug about it too. That just means you stand for nothing. That’s nothing to be proud of.
So remember kids, being friends with people who don’t share all your views is a sin 🙂
Thanks for coming to my ted talk
You clearly don’t get the point of this post. You can have friends who have differing views, just not differing morals. A lot of political views reflect your morals. It is one thing to be friends with someone who has a slightly different view and has the general same morals and same wish for a common outcome. It is another thing when your friend thinks that it is ok to get women drunk to lower her inhibitions or doesn’t think that free lunches to children have value. Same goes for if someone thinks that PoC or LGBTQ people don’t deserve rights.
Have friends who have different religious views than myself. One of my coworkers that I talk to the most is Muslim, and I’m a recovering Catholic. That works, but I would never be able to be friends who thought that me being queer was a sin or who thinks that I shouldn’t be able to marry or have kids. You have to draw the line somewhere unless you don’t have standards.
Befriending a Nazi, allowing them comfort and kindness when they’re literally an advocate for genocide is helping them. It’s helping their cause. It’s throwing Jewish people, and all sorts of minorities under the bus under some misguided attempt at being “accepting”.
People’s political views are a reflection of their priorities. If you’re friends with someone who prioritize dehumanization, you’re a shitty person.
I can be friends with someone whose more right wing than I am. I can be friends with someone who disagrees on things like budgets, but if they disagree on what rights I have? Why would I wanna be friends with them? Why would I want to associate with someone who advocates for making my life harder?
This goes for all bigots and reactionaries, not just Nazis btw
