My best friend had this happen to him. Except he's over 30.

He now worships T×m P×ol, El×n M×sk, and J×e R×gan. He also thinks that Tr×mp is "the ultimate epic troll".

He finally started saying that c×vid is fake & trans folks should be "purged". He also still thinks that you can catch AIDS from a toilet seat or a handshake.

His critical thinking skills have eroded to the point where I don't even recognize him anymore. He just parrots talking points from grifter podcasts.

We are no longer friends. I miss the "old" him everyday.

Why the fuck are you censoring what you post? You're not going to get banned for wrongthink, this isn't reddit.

Maybe they just find their names distasteful.

It's to protect myself from folks who will inevitably search these terms and harass others who criticize these people.

This platform is growing, and I will take precautions to keep myself safe.
