re: #358 scottslemmons

I’ve mostly purged my Facebook friends list of wingnuts. I’ve kept a number of friends who are Republicans or Christians who don’t post obnoxious stuff. I’ve kept at least one libertarian who is a genuinely fun person to be around. I’ve kept one conservative trucker/gun nut who vehemently hates racism (and all other isms) and periodically posts stories about him humiliating truck stop racists.

The person I blocked on Twitter was someone I’d friended a few years ago when I first joined Facebook and who’d dropped me ages ago. I worry plenty that a lot of people I went to college or high school with have probably gone over to the Nazi side. It’s a big reason why I never go to class reunions — Generation X turned out to be the most wingnutty generation. :(

My libertarian friends thankfully are mostly pretty chill. And they’re against racism and defend groups like BLM. TBH I don’t purge people. Just not my nature.
