I understand not wanting to quit a friendship for some potential red flags, but maybe just keep an eye out on it and if you have the energy for it, offer counterpoints to not persist in an echo chamber (for neither of you).

Most people wouldn't want to be friends with themselves - we have a very biased view on ourselves and don't realise it as such because we think we know ourselves best. We don't, we hyperfocus on the wrong things, either thinking we're the best thing since sliced bread or thinking we are the worst trash this earth has ever seen.

You might be either for some, but who you are isn't one individuals perception of you alone (not even if that one individual is you). I know, you're around yourself a lot and have to put up with yourself way more than anyone else has to, which probably makes it feel like you're not a good person to be around. But that's mostly because everything in excess (no matter how good it may be) is bad. And again, you don't know the sum of your parts as well as your surrounding does.

I don't have a huge issue with it personally I'm just worried he'll end up being very extremist if he continues 
be there to offer being a "guide" to balance his media input if you want to, but if he's a grown man, he'll have to tae up the responsibility of what he consumes and how he perceives the world himself and thus live with potential consequences

there isn't two sides in america, they can say it however much they want but the two parties are surprisingly similar considering that there are no other options at all

this


sometimes these escapades into that political territory are driven by a sense of loss or misery in life (good luc not feeling that with the current climate) so a lot of people drift into the shallow waters but come bac around once they see that their misery isn't because of the enemy they tried to latch on (which is often super easy on the right wing side, because it very much feels lie a "the other ones are always at fault for me being unhappy";)

Thanks for informing me but I'm not on Twitter, I do not know what "SJWs" think about him. Pretty much all I know about him is from my mate and I violently disagree with what I've heard as I find it to be quite primitive 
If you find that values you and your friend share to be wildly opposite, it's probably not a good friendship match at a core level and Petersen has little to do with it.

I believe he means that friendships are more complex than that when you're older than a child.

Yeah that's exactly what I mean, it's too simplistic to exclusively be friends with people who have the exact same opinions and values as yourself, that's just boring.

thanks for reminding me of the time I dated a guy who had a ben shapiro loving roommate who always tried to show me MTGOW videos and shit 

i ended up getting sent home in a cop car after punching said roommate in the face while drinking cuz he made shitty comments about abortion. They were kind enough to drop the charges so I didn't go to jail (:

ok since ur looking for advice

basically agree with @Barbarella 

tho do remember that some people are lost causes 

I'd say go for it, have a discussion, see if he's open

that will help you know if he's close minded or willing to reconsider and think deeply about his beliefs and such
