It really is like this. I have a friend who's family grew up in the Soviet Union, and left during the collapse (he was born after). He is vehemently against Communism, but he's also strongly against capitalism. It's a bit frustrating to talk with him because he'll agree with me right up until I start to talk strategy or historical context around the Soviet Union.

How are you able to keep the friendship without ghosting him after getting extremely frustrated at him?
