You are wrong. Different viewpoints are great - about all sorts of things. But - for example - if a close friend or relative started to hang out with the BNP or adopted white supremacist views or put a poster of Jacob Rees-Mogg up in their hallway, I would be upset.Originally Posted by DryCleaning
In my opinion it is the people who would not be upset by that who have a problem.
My best mates support different football teams - fine. Family members vote for many different parties - mostly fine. Friends or family who endorse racist or mysoginistic or reactionary policies and ‘values’ - not fine.
I would probably maintain my relationship and argue with them constantly. But for you and others to be offended by someone in that situation being upset (an emotion) is very disturbing. Even more so when you label the rejection of reactionary or oppressive views as fascistic! Don’t you have any boundaries?
