sometimes it's wild watching 2 people you used to know from within the same group of online friends get radicalized in 2 wildly different directions
#not really sure what to do about it either. i was close with one of these people so i have like. had a conversation with her about it#in fact even back then she would sometimes say some stuff i'd disagree with & i'd push back on it but never to this point u know?#it's to the point where it's really unpleasant for me to be seeing some of this stuff on my dash#but like i care about her! we were friends#i don't want to cut her off bc isolating herself from people with different viewpoints who are still kind to her is probably#how she got there in the first place#and i have pretty extensive experience in being deradicalized from shitty viewpoints. like#i was southern us christian & deeply religious for the first 18 years of my life i know how they get you#the way out of that is meeting friends who aren't enmeshed in the same stuff#but that also feels close to the same old deal of wanting to be an influence in someone's life but not really. actually.#wanting to interact with them#it's just like i will never do evangelism again. idc what it's about. idc if i'm more at peace with my beliefs now. it isn't happening#it's complicated idk#i might just unfollow and stop trying to interact. it just feels bad bc i wish there was something else i could do
