[FONT=""][COLOR=""][SIZE=""]Ok I want to start by saying I really love my friend like loads and but they can get a bit extreme when it comes to political opinions. One time we were talking about the horrors of work nights out and I mentioned how my mum had told me that one time one of her work colleagues got really drunk and started flirting with women when he was married and they (completely unprompted) started flipping out and saying how he was harassing loads of women who clearly didn't want him anywhere near him (this wasn't the case and I don't think I did anything to imply it was) I also have tics and one of them looked vaguely like a Nazi salute except the other way around and I did it once and they started immitating it along with their friend and then when I said that it looked like a Hitler salute they got mad at me so I explained that it was a tic and they were still having a go at me even though I explained what a tic was and everything. Then there was another time where my brother was talking to a guy who was much older than him online and he was saying some creepy things (which is a whole other issue in itself) anyway we are both very aware that if we acted like we were parents and against it then he will do it more just for laughs but they start saying stuff that was quite obviously only going to encourage him I tried to divert their attention so they didn't worsen the situation but they started yelling at me about how their proud of their opinions. I mean I'm a liberal and I like to think I'm willing to listen to other people's experiences and opinions but they seem to view the world with like oppression tinted sunglasses (obviously there is a lot of bad stuff going on in the world) they see oppression when there isn't any (I feel like I should clarify we're both Afab white and LGBTQ so I don't think I have any privilege that they don't so I'm fairly sure it's not me not realising things) is there anyway I can politely ask them to dial it down a bit?[/size][/color][/font]
