At the end of the day I just don’t care about people’s beliefs, like I pick my friends based on their qualities of their personality and who they are as a person. If you pick your friends based on what they believe doesn’t that just kind of turn your friendship into an echo chamber?

I picked my friend based on their qualities and based on their actual care for me. I wouldn’t really be friends with somebody who was actively voting against me getting married to someone who makes me happy… I feel like that’s not a crazy take

he doesn’t think you have the right to get married. He doesn’t respect you the same as he does his friends.

I mean yeah I guess I understand that, but it’s just not something I care about. My friend and I are extremely close and some of my best memories are times that I’ve spent with him. Don’t you wonder what you could be missing out on?

And that’s completely OK! I have a lot of family that are on the right and realistically speaking if we were not related, I would not be talking to them because they are actively voting against something simply because they do not understand which is a kind of ignorance that I do not have the privilege to express.

Exactly— just because they respect these superficially doesn’t mean that they’re not actively going behind your back to vote against your livelihood

So if someone treated you nicely but was a nazi politically you’d be okay with that?

That’s a strawman argument. There’s a difference between having opposing political beliefs and being a Nazi

Is nazism not an opposing political belief from what’s considered progressive and left?

Anonymous #1 7w

Being a nazi is an opposing political belief- But that wasn’t even what I was originally trying to get at. I’m simply stating I can’t really be friends with somebody who actively doesnt support me simply because they don’t understand.

Anonymous #4 7w

It is an opposing belief but it’s not the only opposing belief. That’s why your point is a strawman argument

They didn’t say it was the only opposing belief, it was an example. Your usage of the term “straw man argument” simply doesn’t stand.

Saying that you’d be friends with someone with differing political views isn’t the same as saying you’d be friends with a Nazi, like what😭 That’s like me saying “I don’t like eating cookies” and you saying “so you like eating rocks”

Anonymous #1 7w

They’re not saying it’s the only differing political view. Its simply one of them. You cant be friends with a nazi = not being friends with someone with an opposing view. and of course the right isnt as extreme but its also a political view i wouldnt befriend.

Anonymous #1 7w

I didn’t say it was the only opposing belief. So would you? If your friend treated you amazingly, but separately they subscribed and engaged with neo nazi beliefs, would you still be their friend?

Yeah so they were trying to get me to say that I would be friends with a Nazi because I’d be friends with someone with differing political views, which are not the same things in any way. Sorry but I’m not falling for that

It isnt just right vs left— theres bigger fish to fry- If right = i like red cookies and am voting for blue cookies to be eradicated And blue: likes blue cookies and wants to eradicate red cookies It makes sense that they would not be friends with the other!

You calling things strawman arguments don’t actually make them strawmans. Thats what you did to me when I brought up nazism being an opposing belief an then you tried to argue that I said it was the “only” opposing belief.

Ooh ok you got me lol😂. What I’m saying is I just don’t agree with the mindset of not being friends with someone cause you don’t agree with them on everything

I just don’t know why you’d feel the need to justify being friends with people who want less right for others. That’s what the nazis did; just more of it. They were also staunchly anti gay marriage. It doesn’t bother you that your friend holds the same belief legally as the nazis did when they first got to power?

Anonymous #1 7w

You’re completely admitting that it’s possible to not be friends with somebody because you don’t agree with them on everything. You yourself would not be friends with a nazi and fuck neither would I My post strictly says that I just don’t believe people with contradicting and opposing political beliefs can be friends. I never said Left vs Right. If the shoe fits wear it

The strawman is that Being friends with someone with differing political beliefs ≠ being friends with a Nazi

Anonymous #1 7w

So let me get this straight You say you can keep those kinds of friends because you don’t mind their political beliefs that might be different I ask you for an example of you being friends with someone whose beliefs are different. And that’s a strawman?

Anonymous #4 7w

Yes because saying that I’d be friends with someone who has different political beliefs does not imply that I’d be friends with people with ALL political beliefs. That is in fact what a strawman argument is

Because I have plenty of sources that will show how republicans are currently working towards bills and policies that limit minorities like POC’s, Women’s and LGBTQ+ rights.

So removing rights to weapons is equivalent to removing rights to healthcare, marriage and freedom of speech? I just looked through your sources and quite frankly the rights that are being argued upon aren’t solely the left. Because unfortunately the rights I’ve stated are solely something most of the right stands against, and those who don’t stand for it are ignorant for being part of party that does.

The right to self-defense is not equivalent to the right to healthcare. This is completely stupid healthcare has never killed people, dumbasses with guns have.

gas, along with literally everything else, got more expensive. My job is a nurse has become harder because people with Medicaid cuts are forced to go to the emergency room because they don’t refuse treatment there. I know several people personally who have been deported or who have family members who have been. And i’m directly related to a victim of the black hawk helicopter accident over the petomac.
