Thank you good sir but I was looking for a non-shitpost answer

You seem to be right there

Dont know the context but if you think something is true you should be able to at least make something resembling a case for it

And there arent any right or wrong answers. There are facts opinions and lies

Right and wrong give a notion that a response is superior to another

He is a very close friend and at the time, he was trying to tell me that he was beyond politics and believes that it is pointless to have opinions related to it

No opinions matter

"beyond politics"
=
centrist

What is pointless is to have feelings on it and doing nothing about it

And no one is beyond politics

That is a fairly retarded thing to say

I tried to tell him that if he wanted to appear even the slightest bit modest, that he definitely shouldn't say shit like being beyond it

Here is a very shocking thing he said just a few minutes prior

You is right

not condescending at all

He is being dumb

You are showing him he is dumb

He doesnt like being dumb

people like that are usually a lost cause

He literally told me no to a practical example "because I'll find a way to argue against it"

If he was right youd agree if there are holes youd want him to fill them

It isnt arguing against its asking for actual answers

Arguing is based on feelings and opinions

What you guys are talking about should be fact based

My immediate assessment of people like that, based on experience, is that there is zero point trying to talk any sense into them
So either ignore or troll

He was expressing to me that he was and is still concerned about how I've been involved with politics and have formed strong opinions. That was the original topic of conversation. Somehow it got to how other countries' medias are different but honestly I don't even know why he brought that up. He talked more AT me than TO me, and refused to give me a practical example. He even started typing away a response before I could finish explaining myself

Eh keep going and slowly erode his perception of being right

He believes that politics in general are pointless and I wholeheartedly disagree.

That is like saying money is pointless

"I am concerned that you are having these views which I don't agree with, thus implying there is something wrong with you for thinking things I don't want you to think"

Its a flat out lie

passive aggressive af

He asked me if I was being influenced by older people than me or friends or news or something, and when I told him that everything I think is solely the product of my own doing, he tried to find something else to pin me against

Dude

he is literally the definition of passive aggressive

Or a cuck

You will never find any vindication or validation by interacting with him when it comes to politics

But your word is less negative lol

I just can't help but bet $10 that if I had been a liberal he wouldn't hold the same feelings

When he insists on responding to your political questions, just say "You can't discuss politics with me without being condescending, so don't"
