"Most definitely, it's just an opinion. I don't understand why people get so angry if you don't agree with them. It would be a very boring world " It's not *just* an opinion in some cases though is it? To use an extreme example if someone's opinion was that Gary Glitter and Jimmy Savile were decent blokes who had done nothing wrong - could you be friends with someone that truly believed that? Despite it being "just an opinion"? | |||

"I tend to disagree with a lot of people a lot of the time, so I’d never have any relationships if I wouldn’t consider one with some I disagreed with. However I tend to find most people prefer not to relate to me for that reason. On here they make it clear by blocking me others just prefer not to engage with me. That’s fine too. I haven’t really got time for friendships on here really." We're the same. Mr N more so than me but we won't do the "polite" agreeing for the same of it thing if it's important to us. We will also say if someone is doing something we think is wrong rather than gossip to other people about it. Some people actually value that (as do we) they're the ones we're friends with | |||

"Political believes it’s strange be I have a friend who’s a liberal and he’s stoped talking to his mates because they’ve come out has conservatives and I think it’s just strange " Depends on if they are racist homophobic sexist Trump supporters. I have people like that who I have to stay on friendly terms with. It's difficult. | |||

"Political believes it’s strange be I have a friend who’s a liberal and he’s stoped talking to his mates because they’ve come out has conservatives and I think it’s just strange " Without getting too political with my reply, it's generally more common for people who identify as liberal to cut off contact with conservatives than visa versa. This is due to the belief of moral superiority, that those they disagree with are cruel, regressive or in some cases even evil. There were some studies done on it. | |||

"It’s strange because I’m not a political animal but most of my left leaning liberal friends have called my conservatives pals some offensive stuff and it always seems to be my liberal friends that want to fall out with them and my conservatives pals seem to take it on the chin there not really bothered but I think sitting on the fence when it comes to politics is always best because you can see both sides " The difference between “I’m alright Jack” & “I am right Jack”.

I have a few very good friends and they are the ones who challenge me, call me out on my blind spots, helping me to grow as well as provide support when needed. I offer the same to my friends. | |||

"Yes I have friends I disagree with on a lot of subjects but what makes us able to be friends is when what we disagree about isn't relevant we don't talk about it. That said there are some things that if I find out about some one they are done, racist,haemophilia,sexual abuse and child abuse are the top ones " Yep I couldn't possibly be friends with someone who has differing views about the blood clotting deficiencies. ![]() | |||

"Would you be friends with someone who you don’t agree with " I am friends with people I don’t agree with. If you had the same views on everything with ALL of your friends, that would make for rather dull conversation, wouldn’t it? However, I don’t mention swinging to my vanilla friends as I know they’re all of the mindset that monogamy is the only way. This makes the friendship more limited now I’m a swinger. With my swinging friends the only area of contention is often politics - as I have both far left and right leaning friends. I don’t have far right friends, however, as we’d be poles apart! Xx | |||

Everyone’s entitled to an opinion. And it’s quite health to have a good old debate about things and discus different veiw points. A skill I feels been lost the last 10 years " Whilst in principle I agree it very much depends on the opposing opinion and not only how radical it is, but how open they are to debating it themselves (and by debating I mean both listening *and* speaking) and not just seeing a different opinion as an attack. As pointed out further up I would have no interest in a friend, or even a prospective friend, who holds radical views, nor would I have any interest in a friend that wasn't prepared to debate their views like an adult without seeing offence at every corner. The best friends are those in life that not only stand by you when the chips are down but also that are prepared to tell you when you are wrong, but tell you in a reasoned way, and listen to your perspective and take it on board where necessary. | |||

"Actually, I do have a number of super religious friends. But I just try and avoid the subject as I like them. I guess that's likely to be very different to being friends with Tory bigots though, as believing in talking clouds and the likes tends to make you a nicer person in my experience." I am an atheist but have plenty of friends who aren’t, including some who are devout catholics... I have had friends that I have recently had to give up due to politics, one in particular has gone extremely right wing and trots out the usual anti science, anti media, anti immigrant bull and refuses to have an actual discussion about it... the final straw was when he started attending anti-BLM protests as a “proud veteran”... he was kicked out of the Army after 4 years... | |||

"Would you be friends with someone who you don’t agree with " Yes to an extent. I dont care what you think necessarily but what actions you take. Be nice to me and i will be nice back be that left, right or whatever. The only people I probabaly dislike enough not to be friends with is anyone that is authoritarian and or extremely closed minded or ignorant. For example i met a girl that was happy waving a Soviet flag at a protest but did not know what a gulag was... . As an avid fan of History i found this worrying. But overall having friends that you disagree with is extremely healthy. Me and my Friends have debates on numerous topics over Discord which can span hours and we dont always agree. But living in an Echo chamber is not a healthy place to be. | |||

"I come from a family of bigots I am well used to disagreeing with those closest to me Would I start a friendship with someone who exhibited different values early on, no Would I continue a friendship with someone whose opinion differed from mine on certain topics, possibly " Exactly this. I could be, and am friends with people that have different opinions on certain topics. But would I choose to be friends that were openly racist, homophobic etc? Absolutely no way. However... My dad is pretty damn racist. I challenge him every time and make sure my kid knows it's unacceptable. Even my kid tells him now it's not cool. But he's my dad. Would I ditch him for it? Well no I haven't | |||

"Would you be friends with someone who you don’t agree with " I think it would be immature / narrow minded to dislike someone just because you have different views; For example I may disagree with a lot of mr friends stance / opinion on religion or politics however that doesn’t stop them from being a good person (unless you are a supporter of dictatorship). However they are a few major things that I am just not able to dismiss as I believe they are things that defines a persons character; for example racism & how someone treats a person. #Just adding my two pence | |||

" This is just my opinion and observations, I’m sure many will disagree with me but hey that’s what this thread is about right and I’m always open to discussing ![]() I agree that those on the "far" side whichever way you go are those that tend to distance themselves from those who hold opposing views but I don't think it's the sole domain of those on the left - in fact "typical lefty" and worse are often used by those on the right as a put down, and in a lot of cases the closing comment to an argument rather than debating a point. I'm very much to the left in my thinking but recognise that those to the right actually have very similar views/aims/ideals to me but just see them differently with different solutions. As ever it's the radicals that fail to see that middle ground whichever side of the fence they sit | |||

A higher concentration of left leaning people in my area maybe i dont know, or just the algorithm at work possiblly. Dont think the mask thing is particularly partisan necessarily. A French think tank did a survey of a 1000 anti maskers in france and found only 29% are on the right. Either way, i would still also swipe left on your examples while rolling my eyes | |||
