I met some long time friends for pizza and beer tonight and i thought it was a fun night but right before we parted ways the two of them held an intervention with me. They said i was bringing up "socialist stuff" too much and it was making them depressed. They said to keep the conversation exclusively to things like games and anime. That if i didnt stop they didnt want to be friends anymore. Have you guys/gals/nonbinary pals experienced something like this before?
I'm thinking about the latter. They arent my only friends and I have others that I also talk about imperialism, socialism and organizing with. But these were some of my earliest friends. So it really hurt to hear that I they wanted me to change.
Seniority doesn't apply to friendship. If you're not making every conversation about socialism or whatever then it's possible you've just grown apart. It can suck but it happens.
