Siggy, it's always nice to hear about your Big Apple life. You've got a really good one it seems.
But when I heard,
He sends a long stream of political texts all day long. This was just one of many. Even our friends who agree with his politics usually delete his texts unopened.
I'm wondering how long he's been like this?
I'm guessing that you, and your friends, are concerned about him, but ironically, this could be having the effect of pushing everyone away from him when he might need the opposite to happen - a nasty feedback loop that might get worse...
Have you, personally, been able to check in on him? To actively listen to what he's saying behind the politics, but also to hear what's not being said.
Sometimes best men need best men.
We know you've got this.
Pretty insightful, @Bitman. You nailed it. I don't want to delve into all his personal stuff here, but he's had a rough time these past few years- financial, breakup of marriage, etc. He's working through it.

You would not believe the degree of anguish. We can't even talk about anything remotely political

This was one of the first posts I read on SN. I remember laughing at the headline, Thinking this will be a fun and humorous read which it was lol
He wants to marry Rachel Maddow!
I have to admit I have lost and gained friends because of covid which is political but also a strange and forgettable time in human history.
I stumbled upon it because I clicked on “related posts”.

Covid really messed up many of my family and friend relationships. I couldn't spend her last two Christmases with my mother, and my wife and I lost family and friends because we were unvaxxed. I hope I manage to forget those times someday.

Losing family and friends over covid/vaccine is more crazy in hindsight because this would never happen over Tetanus or whooping cough.
Hep B vaccine is unnecessary for kids and for most adults. I took it once in 1999 because I was working in Hong Kong.
How many people are going to die on this hill? or any vaccine?
I have two friends who supported covid mandates. Voted for Biden. Their reaction to the pardon of Ross Ulbricht: what a joke, we need to eliminate the presidential pardon. Of course they had zero objections to Biden pardoning his family and friends
Update: I got JJ vaccine because I wanted to attend a concert. My reason was unrelated to health. The only medical decision was the absence of mRNA. JJ was one shot.
