Current Events > Friend I've been playing CoD with for over 10 years told me antifa was responsib

(+) Yeah! (+)

Responsible for the capitol event.

Could not believe my fucking ears. These are real people with the same rights as you and me. He went a step further and brought up pizzagate. Argued against his bullshit for at least two hours because it was breaking my heart. I had to end a 10 year friendship. Even if we went back to just gaming it would still be in the back of my mind that he's certifiably stupid.

Did you ask if he thought what they did was a noble effort to stop the steal of the election that was full of irregularities and voter fraud?

I was patient and tried pointing out flaws in his logic for two straight hours because I did not want this friendship to end. No juice. He kept "Well, yeah, but...."ing.

That sucks man, losing even online friends isnt fun.

On a side note, do you think he shouldnt have the same rights? Because that sounds a little fucked up to me.

I don't believe anyone who supports the insurrection of democracy deserves democratic rights, no.

Doesnt sound like you actually believe in democracy yourself

What's the evidence to this claim?

And you be ashamed for not trying to work it out. You coulda been a bridge. You coulda helped to unite our country...save a friend...

Instead you are a coward. You turn your back when you're uncomfortable or challenged, and by someone you care for too.

Being against those who would destroy democracy is anti-democracy?

Your friendship probably wasn't all that important to you in the first place if it got ended in that way.

I have friends that I talk to and play with online since 2008. We all have different political, religious, moral and philosophical ideas, but we all still get along.

The fact that you can't speaks volumes about your character. Go throw a pity party somewhere else.

Nah, I'll stay right here. You downplaying the insurrection of democracy on the basis of "agree to disagree" says a lot more about you than me. But I'm willing to bet you're not man enough to say what you want to here out of fear of being modded.

Far right wingism and this QAnon bullshit is like a brain virus.

You are not going to be successful trying to deradicalize individuals most of the time. The only thing thats gonna really help is a cultural shift and controlling the public dialogue

This is more about somebody swallowing blatant lines hook, line, and sinker because they are completely blinded to reality. Like the entire election conspiracy, Hunter Biden's laptop, Biden being a slave to China, etc.

You can probably safely assume that any of these types are thinly veiled Trump supporters who don't want to admit they've been wrong for four years.

Pretty sure if TC wanted to hear stupid opinions he'd still be talking to his former friend.

Run along.

Yeah that's like my friend / former coworker. She's got a higher education (Master's degree). Last time I talked to her she was one of those "America is the greatest for <some arbitrary reason that applies to literally half the globe actually>" types who believed the FBI was persecuting Trump.

How do people get this way

I would tag them accordingly, but I'm not old enough.

Lmao, yeah, he's the lowest effort Trump troll. I've literally never seen him try to defend his opinions on this board, just makes a sarcastic post about why liberals are bad at best

It really isn't an opposing view if the other view is that far detached from reality, tbh.

If he's a buddy of that long, it genuinely is, but Im starting to think you're the type that can't handle much relationship-wise. So maybe its just that shallow to begin with and you're right

Would you be this mad if he found out his friend's "opposing view" was blatant racial supremacy that he wouldn't back down from?

Life is too short to spend time with friends you fundamentally disagree with

The thing is, you're just sad inside. Alarmingly so. It's not much of a stretch to assume that you're so detached from the world that tragedy is funny to you, regardless of the severity. You should get professional help for these problems. Like a lot of Trump's supporters, you're just....miserable. Miserable enough to get joy out of horrible situations. I'm not even arguing for the sake anymore. You need assistance.

Trump suck brah. I'm just for unity for a better world, and that's best done with a calm hand in a hot fire sometimes. These people are usually lacking some fundamental need that seems to be shallowly covered by banding together while the people that should be helping (admittedly at their own expense) to change perspective

I don't think you are. You keep holding yourself above the situation despite being part of the problem with your line of thought.

You need better and educated friends and not ones who can't think or fact check anything for themselves.

I wonder how many of these people pissing and moaning about what TC did would expect a gay person to remain friends with a homophobe

Depends if the person if trying to harm the other. Having a close relationship of a friendship is an great opportunity to change a mind, keep a friend, and make an ally

If the person is being an asshat that now wants to destroy you, theres better places to be

You guys are wasting way too much energy on such a low effort troll wtf

Trump supporters could shit their bed while they sleep and they would still find a way to blame it on Antifa.

Sorry if I came off strongly. Its tiring times to just see division and hate being carted everywhere. Frankly, being a douche is too easy when you live in douche soup

"I oppose Trump because I am compassionate and choose to care about those that are hurting"

"My friend/family/etc. has radical views, so I abandoned them to dive farther into their radical rabbit hole. Because the relationship was no longer comfortable, and if it hurts me I'd rather not be helpful anymore"

I'll never understand this line of thinking. Only being compassionate as long as it means checking the appropriate bubble on a ballot, or sharing the right news articles on social media. Why not step in and help those you see spiraling into dangerous ways of thinking?

(TC this isn't directly at you, just a thought/question that you're predicament brought to mind)
