    Yes. Actually it goes reasonably well.

    I had a small argument with a friend when I found out he is an ultra. This was my fault because I was too hot headed too quickly. I changed my stance and behaviour since then and we started talking about politics again. I still don’t see eye too eye with him but he seems to understand and approach my point of view more than before (he is still off though).

    I turned another friend from “I don’t care about politics because I am too well off.” to "Sure things are getting worse currently but soon they will be better again. Besides, things are still great for me " So I am just waiting for the coin for him to drop and realise that they won’t. Recently he became very interested in understanding capitalism better. I am hopeful that he will be radicalised eventually.

    I can also say what I believe when I am around my mother but I don’t think she really believes the same things I do. She watches a lot of western MSM and I believe she doesn’t oppose me on things like the war in Ukraine, Stalin, the DPRK or China not because she agrees with me but because she doesn’t want to argue.
