The fact that the this coming from the red scare sub made me suspicious unfortunatly makes me the opposite of this guy.
This isn’t just being incredibly offline. This is being incredibly offline + having only friends that never talking about anything political
For sure Alex is 100% cishet white male and 90+% of his friends are also cishet white people
its also dumbguy energy
i got a dumbguy friend and its amazing what he just shuts out like ive seend the trend of golden-retriever boyfriend which i think is funny but those guys are people-pleasers often dumbguy energy is a force of its own and not to be trifled with
the best if when you try to have a conversation about this stuff with your dumbguy friend and he listens and then says “i dunno man…” and you think he’ll give his opinion on the subject after that like most people but he doesnt he just trails off and lets things be silent for a moment and then wants to talk about video games or sports or something like he genuinely means he doesnt know lol
I had a version of this guy who I was very good friends with but yeah along with “I dunno man” he’d often just say “damn, big if true” then just change topics
I don’t think being white or cishet has anything to do with it. Some people simply do not care about anything other than their own lives. I’ve seen it from the nicest classmates and coworkers to ghoulish Lockheed employees who simply think “epic rocket satellite whoa!” And these people range from white to Asian to Hispanic to black. Money is in their bank accounts. All is good with the world.
Not in my experience at least. I’ve met hundreds, if not thousands of very well off minorities my life and while they are on average more reactionary than their poorer counterparts and never talks about politics/social issues casually, every one that I’ve gotten close to has revealed they think about racial politics a ton
