Why do you advice against looking for friends with similar political views?
No, this is dont what I meant. I wanted to say, that it shouldn't be important. If you say, that possible friends should have similar political views, than you will overlook other nice people. It should just not be that important, I think. Sometimes you meet a possible friend, which is not that political but also not a chauvinist. Some are also totally fixated onto a activity which you also like.
I made the experience, that if you like someone and get along, you will also be able to talk about political stuff with that person. A friend of mine comes from quite bourgeois household, is not chauvinistic but also never asked herself some political questions. And since we understand each other good, wife could talk a little bit political and there was no repulsion when I mentioned Marx, Engels or Lenin. Rather interest.
My wife was not political at all. She even had some chauvinistic prejudice towards some people, which were the result of her shitty environment. Today she enjoys read Lenin. Just dont narrow yourself into a corner, otherwise you wild miss the opportunity to meet good people.
