The virgin anglos Vs the chad latin countries
Comment on The Fake Xinjiang Allegations Caused me to Lose my Job & Friends
SaddamHussein24@lemmygrad.ml 2 years agoDamn, thats fucked. Maybe anglos are especially deranged i dont know. Here in Spain ive never seen anything like this. Like my parents, who are very left wing, almost communist (i guess you could call it "communist with liberal characteristics") have an old friend who is very right wing, possibly even fascist (he served as an officer in the spanish military during the fascist dictatorship). While they ofc rarely talk politics because the discussion can get very heated, they nevertheless are friends, and its not like they dont know each others political ideas. I dont know maybe anglos are more brainwashed than us.

My family situation is the complete opposite of yours. I didn't become a socialist because of my family situation, but rather despite of it. Even though my family are literal fascists, I don't really have right-wing friends as I made the pleasant mistake of deciding to make friends with non-native looking people. Once you hang out with one person of colour it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Friends that have even a single racist bone in their body will soon try to create distance between the both of you when they find out that "you inviting that black/brown fellah" is a common occurrence. I'm not suggesting all right-wingers are racist, but if those two ven diagrams overlap quite a lot. Sadly most of these "other people" not wanting to hang out with us mostly happened with other ex-pats white (or Chinese natives) in China, though that might have to do with it being a lot easier to make new friends in ex-pat communities.
