I’d rather make diverse friends than make a friend with somebody that openly supports Trump and his ilk.
Is it weird that I, a cis & straight presenting, white man, make friends with people outside my demographics? I mean, I do make friends within my demographics, but they are absolutely not Trump supporters.
The diverse crowd are usually pretty wary and reserved these days when it comes to interacting with white men. Can’t blame them, but its not as easy to make friends as say “hi”, because you have to prove first you are not one of “those” white men.
And I am more radical than most, I am pro positive discrimination (like 55% of government should be women, even if people want to elect men), subsidized gender affirmative care, open borders with no checks, drugs decriminalization etc whatever.
But I do also hate virtue signaling and being performative male who can’t shut up how he hates patriarchy to get laid. And fortunately or not, no one ever knows if I privately donated money to RAINN.
Paradoxically even this comment by me is virtue signalling, oh well.
So, we are basically in a stalemate where I am asked to perform and I don’t like doing that, thus we are both at arms length, although technically I would considered myself an ally.
Is that supposed to be a problem?
