When politics felt like shades of policy disagreements I could see it. Now it is either you support democracy and human rights or you’re supporting pedophiles and genocide. Not much common ground anymore.
Comment on Stereotyping is wrong.

I could never have the opposite politics of my spouse. Sure, we may disagree slightly on some matters an nuance, but a world view in direct conflict with mine would be irreconcilable.

The Overton window has been busy.

Is it a roadrunner? Is it a train? No it’s the Overton window growing 120 in the slow lane.

A politically charged tv channel with specifically that goal running for three generations will do that.

Seriously I don’t understand how some people can handle their best friend and roommate being a POS
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
- Fear of making near friends / difficulty making the new friends
- Actual naivety of thinking the POS behaviour doesn’t matter
- Weirdly, peer pressure from other people? For instance you might want to distance yourself from one friend and you are then peer pressured to be in situations with them more often by the other friends, told to build your tolerance of them
… 1 + 2 also applies to romantic relationships!
Edit: just realised ‘best friend AND roomate’ is just a way of referring to a spouse. But there it is, there’s the low-down in my opinion.

You bond over other shared interests, like video games and drinking.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
As silly as bonding over race, especially when we disagree on basic morality, but that’s sadly what happens. 😔

I’m so glad my parents and brother have (nearly) the same politics as me. Having to regularly deal with trumpers (without being able to laugh in their faces as with my co-workers) would be a perpetual torment. My brother did have an inexplicable phase of loving Putin, but that passed quickly.

Same. I couldn’t respect someone with hardened, opposite politics to me. Sex would be satisfying though.

It doesn’t seem appealing tbh

My partner is just slightly less left than me and I struggle with it some days. I can’t even imagine trying to date someone on the other side.

Sometimes I think about dating again after so long, and I imagine my girlfriend wanting to wiretap our place with an Alexa in the kitchen.

Nobody can. Egomanic psycopathy isn’t attractive to anyone but the most indoctrinated birds
