Shouldn't have said anything, now I'm getting paragraphs upon paragraphs about Putler and how the West has a moral obligation to prolong the war in Ukraine for as long as possible sad-boi

Also while apparently it can't be denied that the far right has grown somewhat stronger in Ukraine, the Ukrainian military had to rely on militias such as Azov so they wouldn't lose, we should not worry because they haven't seen that much electoral success

What are you getting out of this friendship?

[-] Arenge@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

We go back decades. Around the 2016 election cycle he had a pretty severe psychological episode and he became hyper-fixated on politics. He self-medicates with various substances on top of the actual medication he takes. He stays up days at a time and consumes political content, then posts entire essays into my inbox while arguing with people online on like 20 different tabs. I've learned to just ignore the political stuff

please, please talk to him about this. i was slipping down that rabbit hole and if my friends hadn't pulled ke out sooner i would have been gone

I'll just go ahead and restate the question

[-] Arenge@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

He's otherwise a good friend?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

Then I'd just drop the matter but he has to agree to do so as well do a disengage. Neither of your opinions affect the matter. They're on the right page with Gaza though right? Cause Ukraine guy who can stop arguing about it if told to do so is one thing, but some stuff is a friend ship ender.
