Is it normal for people to cut you off over your political beliefs?
I ask this because I expressed to one of my friends that I have a more traditional belief of the world /ideal society.

I don’t want anybody oppressed, ostracized, or harmed, but I don’t hate my own race nor do I believe in marriage other than between a man and a woman. When speaking of BLM, that was the final straw. He cut me off when I said I absolutely have no support for them.

One another friend brought this up to me, he told me that I need to understand that most people would do the same because my beliefs are extremely inflammatory. Sort of like saying I am in the wrong and everyone else is just being tolerant of my bigotry...

This entire time I thought I was putting up with them by hearing about the horrors of the white male, Christians, systemic racism, Chick-fil-A and their anti-LGBT stand points. I never let it influence my friendship. Little did I know that I wasn’t putting up with them, they were putting up with me..

Any Belief they do not believe in or have been taught/educated is wrong.

That is what I find. Watch their eyes go blank as you suggest something they don't adhere to or believe in.

Given time they think you are their enemy. Agree with everything a person says and they will think you a friend. Disagree with them enough and they will think you an enemy.

Tell them they are wrong and they will know you are their enemy whether you are or not.

Quickest way to end a friendship.

Always act neutral and there's no one to argue with. Keep your shit to yourself.

Both Biden and Trump are fucks. See what I mean?

They are programmed to cut you off because you don't follow the narrative.

I used to take this approach but I have thought of a slightly adept analogy.

It's like political trench warfare. Watch 1917 and observe the center part of the battlefield, it seems to be the most fierce. At least when you pick a side you stand a chance, but in no mans land? You're surely dead.

This is how it feels today. I am one extreme or the other, the middle leaves you to be even more ostracized.

IT is happening all over. It started with the 2016 election, if you were not for Hillary, there was something wrong with you, then if you supported Trump or didn't think he was the antichrist, you were suspect, then, if you supported him in 2020, if you didn't believe Biden won fair and square, if you didn't buy the pandemic, and now, don't buy the vaccine.

Unless you pledge allegiance to the official narrative, you will be cast out. That is where we are.

Outcasts don't care one bit. So long as you remain employable or good with stocks/crypto, and can buy food, your good. Fortunately, there's always whores for money. They will deliver food to your door if you have the money.

I have close family that I have not spoken to in years because I supported Trump.

I don't imagine we'll ever talk again in this life. It is what it is. I make no apologies for supporting Trump. I think he was a great president and I would vote for him again.

i think if we can move back from political terms that encompass tribal annihilation or individual annahilation that things will get better and quickly

It's all prohibition again. You only engage and participate with those you know that are "you". You leave everyone else at the door, fuck them.

many people only believe what their phones/teachers or tv tell them. People are not taught to read or think for themselves anymore.

Re: Is it normal for people to cut you off over your political beliefs?
I have zero tolerance for white supremacists and
selfish anti-mask anti-suit anti-testing anti-vaccine Karens
who kill and endanger so many lives
by refusing to
suit up
mask up
and roll there sleeves up
and
wear a mask
wear a suit
get tested
and get vaccinated
and support BLM.
Of course anti-mask anti-suit anti-testing anti-vaccine Karens are always white supremacists
go figure
and for the record I'm neither black nor white
I'm j***sh
and like blacks as well as Hispanics, native Americans native Australians Arabs and Asians my people ancestors have suffered greatly at the hands of white supremacists
White supremacy is the one plague
that's even worse than Covid-19
thats why everyone
regardless of
skin color race religion gender and sexual orientation
must come together
and fight for equality and against racism
and eradicate the plagues known as Covid-19 and white supremacy forever
