Unfriending right wing friends

[nondrinker1985]

One of my school mum friends of around 10 years has started sharing loads of Restore Britain/Rupert Lowe posts.

I’m actually really shocked as she’s an Irish immigrant herself.

I’ve unfriended her which is a shame as day to day she’s ok. Also another mum who has been liking and commenting on the Restore Britain posts, they’ll probably tell me they’re not racist but I can’t be arsed calling them out.

The same PM who is ruled by his hard left backbenchers. A tax evading gobshite is coming up through the ranks yet these lefties try to lord it over the rest of us 😆 🤣 God help this country if Rayner is let loose on the international stage, representing the UK. Luckily, that's less chance of happening than a Reform government.

Last time I checked the American Christian Right are not entering our country in increasing numbers, intimidating and threatening election candidates with beheading and declaring an intention to gain political control over us? Not to mention the constant threat of Islamist terrorist attacks.

If the ACR start doing that I’ll be more worried about them.

Reading isn’t your forté, is it.

You can literally look at ANY post from ANY major news outlet on ANY social media platform.

Are you feeling ok? To have so spectacularly missed the point is really quite impressive.

Agree

I also agree. I don't really care for the left remaining in my recognised circle. When they proudly march for the death of Jews and boycott Isreali goods, it tells me what racists and fascists they are. What's that saying about the garbage taking itself out?

Well, I am not the one who didn't believe that Starmer stopped the taxi rides which started this who convo. That's the problem when you butt into another conversation between two people!

Is that a “yes”?

No confusion thanks I think you’re overstating Brexit on this. Especially when compared with other EU struggles over migration, bar Poland.

Even Mahmood has said similar in a rare moment of Labour honesty.

Well that's the problem when you think an AIBU platform only includes two people. I'm not surprised your thinking doesn't extend beyond your own comfort zone.

Or communists and anti-semites.

So you can’t link to even one. It’s ok to just admit that.

So you can’t Google? It’s ok to just admit that.

As you apparently don’t know how the internet works, here. Literally the first things that come up if you search “migrant boat news” on Facebook.

Nobody is obligated to tolerate intolerance. Because then intolerance becomes acceptable and then we really are fucked.

I don’t want to be associated with people who follow fascistic ideology, and I don’t give a fuck what people who follow that think of me because they aren’t worth it anyway. There was a time not so long ago when people with those views would be shamed and ostracised, and rightly so.

Yet you DO follow fascist ideology and your very post attests to that. You don't and won't want to see it. Are you the arbiter of all that's good, holy and worthy in the world?

You made the claim, it’s interesting to know what sort of media you look at.

I don’t read the Sun, nor is it remotely credible proof of anything, even if you really want it to be. Soz.

Your very rude attitude won’t help convince anyone either.

The usual dramatic and personal attack from the left. Likewise, nobody has to agree with you in order to be free of defamatory and very lazy labels.

Have you tried being more tolerant? It's a helpful strategy if you want to have people in your life who aren't just living in your silo.

You are prerfectly at liberty to find articles from any source that you like, and the other is from the bbc. The article itself is irrelevant- my entire point was about people “laugh reacting” and crowing in the comments. You denied this happens. I have proven it does.

I don't believe in friends because they've proven fickle, over time. I do, however, believe in everybody's right to free speech. Do you?

I have. I haven’t seen THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of the posts you are referring to.
