would you be friends with someone who has different views?
i’m curious bc i know this person who has completely different views than i do and they recently posted about how different political views doesn’t mean mean we still can’t be friends but their views in general (not just political but also on issues like racism etc.) are way too different to mine. i just wanted to know if it’s bad to drop friendships/relationships based on different views since i know everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and such
Well, there is a difference between being a person who's open for debate and can respect your opposing ideologies and being a complete jackass who goes around insulting you for not agreeing with their opinions.
If you're the former then yeah I can fuck with you, but if you're the latter then lol absolutely not.

Different opinions and views on food or songs? Yes. Different opinions on basic human rights? fuck outta here with your karen saggy tities musty ass. 1 reply
personally, if you dont have the same views as me then please do NOT talk to me :) i dont want a HOMOPHOBIC/ RACIST/XENOPHOBIC or just a TRUMP SUPPORTER/ CONFEDERATE as a friend or even a person that wants to talk to me. the only reason i would EVER talk to any of them would be to tell them how stupid they are reply
It honestly depends on the topic. I can't accept racism, sexism, or general jackassery, but, if it is a topic with potential for compromise, I'm okay, usually. It gets a little more complicated than that, but I rarely shut down a conversation/potential friendship just because of opposing views. reply
If they're bigots, drop them. Otherwise there is no problem being friend's with people who have different beliefs. It would be ignorant to outright dismiss someone for having different views to your own. It's the ignorant bigots who act that way, no reason to do the same. If everyone had the attitude of refusing to listen to other's beliefs, slaver...... reply
Totally. If they are a good friend and fun to hang out with. I live in an area where most of the people have different political views than me, and a lot of my friends also have different political views than me.
If they're the kind of person who would cut you off or be rude to you, no matter how good of a friend you two are, solely because of you...... reply
Debate is good for any healthy relationship but if you feel like debating trans people on their existence or some dumbass shit then you can go fuck yourself reply
If someone I know has different views that oppose human rights and even after trying to educate them they dont get it, then it's fine to drop them.
I dont know where this notion that you must keep friend forever comes from.
If you support figures that hate minorities people or solely just hate minorities then I dont FW, period reply
Honestly i think it would only stand as problem if the other person is a jackass and forces their beliefs on you or they HATE a lot and you don’t like that. If there is room where u can just leave it be then i don’t think it stands as a problem reply
