I'm still so confused over some of the friendships I've made. Just had a really tough conversation today with my buddy up in Tacoma who is on that whole Anti-American wagon.
Honestly don't know if I can stay friends with him. Really want to because he's a hilarious guy and a great musician but some of the shit believes is just so historically ignorant.
@M4Gunner why still? You mean as in they don't understand why they are still expected to apply for jobs?
yeah same
@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] I'm pretty anti-yank. Whats he believe?
if my old friends knew I'd considered becoming a cop they'd be like "WUAGH?"
He believes America is evil and the big evil corporations just earned their wealth by stealing it and extorting the rest of the world. He doesn't believe me when I say the free market has lifted half the world out of abject poverty, or that today's living standards are much better than they were before.
nah man he's stubborn
I wish
I've tried having conversations about Jordan Peterson and others but he doesn't give a shit.
yeah, but already I'm going to show my secret leftie mind, pretty much every attempt to restrict abuse of welfare just harms legitimate users, as illegitimate ones have the time and energy to y' know, learn how to get around it.
He thinks I'm the naive one because I take interest in the ideas of intellectuals.
Does the server censor cuss words or are you censoring yourself @M4Gunner ?
fuck
The thing is he isn't interested in even having that kind of conversation.
He thinks he has it figured out. He doesn't want to search for truth.
@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] I mostly agree with his premises. Probably disagree on the reasons though.
ok thank you for taking the time to explain this to me
He doesn't want dialectic. He's a *fucking millenial*.
said every adult since Aristotle
Yeah man. I really hope he learns some day but I honestly don't think he will.
Yeah I know. I've been a little desperate though since basically all my friends are like that.
Man I wish I could get at least one of them to fucking wake up.
It sucks when you’ve got good friends but then they go all politically weird
And then there’s my other friend
That's probably exactly how they see me.
Who turned gay and asked me out while we were stuck together for the next 4 days
That was... awkward...
woah
Yeah
Idk
Maybe he actually thought I’d say yes?
And was hoping we could fuck like rabbit the next four days I guess
They still your best friend?
Because sometimes they’re reasonable
Sometimes they’re not
Hey
Coulda been worse
