There are opinions which should cause one to seriously consider ending their friendship. I would hope “wanting to kill Jews” is on pretty much everyone’s list.

It undoubtedly is. I have to assume the GP slipped up with a really badly chosen example, since their point is otherwise pretty middle of the road.

It seems to me that the bad qualities of a person that would cause them to embrace genocide should be evident long before you get into a friendship that you would need to end.

    You would think, but unfortunately the world is full of duplicitous people.

      This extends to actions vs beliefs too.

      F.ex. one of my most altruistic and charitable friends is a Trump supporter

      She's run a Christmas time charity for 10 years, solely out of the goodness of her heart, to ensure that families in our community who are struggling get what they need for a happier holiday in tough times.

      It's a non-trivial 6 months of work, between making prizes for donation-driving lotteries, attending events and promoting, and then finding the most cost-effective deals for the families.

      So I choose to say "She's a better person than most I know, in some ways, and disagrees with me in others. Worth friendship."
