We got the idea that Alfredic was cowering somewhere in a corner, being surrounded by absolutely awful people, having to pretend that he's one of them, and using one of the bathroom breaks they allowed him to send messages of "HELP ME".
Feels like that. I've had very good friends go suddenly left, and accuse me of stuff so I learned to keep quiet fairly well. If I post anything righty on social media, I get 12 comments about how wrong I am.
TBH I feel like that sometimes. Though I don't think I do a very good job of hiding the fact I'm not on their team.
Sometimes I think the reason why people who live in places like Seattle or Portland long enough lose their grasp on reality is a variant of Stockholm Syndrome. Except your "captors" are a deranged ideology instead of deranged people.
There is a truth to that. You also find that things change when you get out of the bubbles. Portland might have a crazy city, but the Milwaukee area has a great gun store. Seattle sucks, but Tukwila can be tremendous. You can tell where you are based on how colorful it is. That's not a poetic statement, if it's gray it is local, if it has bright colors it's California infestation.
I'm shocked too, considering it's so easy to find those kinds of people nowadays. The closest thing I have to a "retarded" friend is Steve, and even then much of his stupidity only comes from being drunk.
I'm shocked that you have friends who aren't total retards!
I know, he only ever posts about the lefty friends, so this is a real change.

I thought he's a infiltrator we have behind enemy lines to tell us if their meme game improves.
NARRATOR: Their meme game did not improve.

I see you only consider me an acquaintance.
