Shouldn't have said anything, now I'm getting paragraphs upon paragraphs about Putler and how the West has a moral obligation to prolong the war in Ukraine for as long as possible 
Also while apparently it can't be denied that the far right has grown somewhat stronger in Ukraine, the Ukrainian military had to rely on militias such as Azov so they wouldn't lose, we should not worry because they haven't seen that much electoral success
He believes Russians will [CW: SV]

rapeHmm, I don't hang out with people who are like this. My friends are leftists and know wassup and my co-eorkers and acquaintances are politically ignorant as hell but have the humility to believe what I tell em cause I can explain history good. If someone does have those views they keep it to themselves around me because I don't suffer bullshit like that and will give someone a really really long lecture.
He's a breadtube sort of leftist that used to send me videos of that one greasy debate bro we're not supposed to mention, though that was a few years back before some of his controversies including the recent one that I think kind of ended his career
He's also been sending me every single article about Donald Trump for like 8 years now
What are you getting out of this friendship?
We go back decades. Around the 2016 election cycle he had a pretty severe psychological episode and he became hyper-fixated on politics. He self-medicates with various substances on top of the actual medication he takes. He stays up days at a time and consumes political content, then posts entire essays into my inbox while arguing with people online on like 20 different tabs. I've learned to just ignore the political stuff
please, please talk to him about this. i was slipping down that rabbit hole and if my friends hadn't pulled ke out sooner i would have been gone
I'll just go ahead and restate the question
He's otherwise a good friend?
Then I'd just drop the matter but he has to agree to do so as well do a disengage. Neither of your opinions affect the matter. They're on the right page with Gaza though right? Cause Ukraine guy who can stop arguing about it if told to do so is one thing, but some stuff is a friend ship ender.
