Thank you for your kind words. I'm kind of a social weirdo anyway and she was one of my two closest friends, the sting was deep. I'm not even sure how to make friends anymore. My interests are fairly esoteric and it seems like if people aren't woke nut jobs they're literally Nazis (and how I've come to hate how people throw that word these days so when I say literally I mean literally). I'm in existential despair where humanity goes from here.

I feel you there, the polarization is becoming increasingly dangerous. Not because ideologies clash; that's always been the case. But because of the sheer resistance to anyone actually questioning what they believe. Your friend's response is a classic example of that - rather than deal with what you're saying in a reasoned way, they completely shut down with the "I don't know how to talk to you (anymore)" bit, which is really just an excuse to end all interaction lest you inadvertently cause her any cognitive dissonance by questioning her views. It's a sad state of affairs when friends are torn apart, not even because of some deep-seated ideological difference, but because of questions about some pretty absurd aspects of a particular shared ideology. Then again, as a leftist, I know the depths of leftist infighting over trivial shit, so, I guess it's hard to be surprised, but still that shouldn't be ending close friendships.

Unfortunately, it seems that social weirdos have problem finding non-woque social weirdos to hang out with. I don't know what it is about the community, maybe unchecked mental illness, but all of my "weirdo" associates have decided they are trans or are extreme-left TRAs years after I stopped speaking to them for other incompatibility reasons.
