      @GinnyMcQueen said "If you hear people speaking of their friendship with Nazis - they are Nazis." Rubbish.

         Normal people don't pick or drop their friends based on political categories and affilations that can change radically over time

            @strypey it is a bit difficult to be friends with people who espouse hatred though.

               @boneidol it's more difficult yes. But true friendship is about sticking with people through the rough as well as the smooth

                  @boneidol don't get me wrong, nobody has to tolerate being abused, and sometimes you've got to cut your losses and avoid certain people

                     @boneidol but I guess I see befriending and deprogramming bigots as one way I can use my white-male-straight-cys privilege for good

                        @strypey I hear that story all the time... "Maybe I can work for $PLANETARYDEATHMACHINE and take money out of it and use it for good" ... "I'm Subverting $CORPORATEGREENMONSTER from within" ...  
                        
                        I don't believe in it.  
                        
                        P.S I am guilty too.

                           @boneidol I'm not talking about joining nazi groups. Just being friends with people, even when they get keen on weird, scary ideas ...

                              @boneidol ... and being one of the voices of reason in their lives that help them get over their interest in those weird, scary ideas

                                 @boneidol it's not healthy for every relationship in a person's life to be treated as a political alliance requiring doctrinal purity
