after the brexit thing over here I unfriended people like crazy. There's way more to brexit leave voters than what tumblr thinks, but i had soooo many school and college 'friends' who voted leave because they want

Yeah, I’m gonna have to unfollow some people, if not outright unfriending them. But I think it’s especially bad because of how Facebook does things now, where people who aren’t even your friends will show up on your feed just because your actual friend commented or reacted to their post. Like my best friend’s fiance is a really nice and intelligent guy who is very vocal in supporting civil rights. Buuuut, he’s originally from Alabama. XP So a lot of really ignorant posts show up on my news feed because basically all of his relatives are racist or otherwise bigoted. So it’s like, I don’t want to unfriend or unfollow him, cuz he’s cool. But because I’m friends with him, I also see a lot of crap that makes me angry.
Also, I have a hard time not speaking up when I see someone being a douchecanoe on my friends’ statuses, and that riles me up. You know how I am. Being salty is how I met you, after all. Lol.
