Sir Hugsalotl

The more I look at how some of my friendships ended the more it becomes apparent how toxic politics and many ideologies in general have become.

I write it as I look at people I once was extremely loyal to. People who eventually got so invested in politics (or any other ideological things) that they became blind to feelings of those around them and eventually discarded them. As enemies, as "fools, who disagree", drones, think of an insult and it likely made its way to their heads. They've chosen to believe cinical men and women in formal clothes or other garments with clear ideological connection. They've chosen to blindly follow those who would not shed a single tear for any misfortune that didn't involve them, likely even would attempt to exploit such terrible events for personal gain.

It's great to know what's happening around the world. It's great to be knowledgable person. But never put it above people who You know. People who themselves probably have their own beliefs, but never take them so far as to sacrifice others for these. 

Don't be that person. Don't wound others for politics.
