the last 3 years have been very challenging for me socially because of how polarized crypto and ai has become it means my leftist friends might just cut me out of their life bc I no longer agree on every single issue

I could not agree more. I've felt crypto in particular has been bad with this for the last few years the worst part is I don't even think many people actually have absolute feelings one way or the other on some of these issues. they just fall in line with the party politics of their social circle for fear of being ostracized and in turn ostracize others in 2020 I had long time friends of mine completely cut off contact when I voted for Trump. people who knew me for years made the leap from who I voted for to "therefore X, Y, Z must also be true about him" even though they knew my true character it's sad, I hope we get back to a place where we can have civil discussion without completely dismissing other people's ideas

ooof yeah esp when people wanna talk about voting everyone has their own best interest at the polls, i hate that society will guilt and force ppl to align with one party’s policy views when you might see positives and negatives in both.
