You may not realize it but you're humanizing "the left" for him. Its probably keeping him somewhat grounded.
Heh, oh I do realize that. I'd not say I'm being strategic, but I am being intentional. One of the reasons I chose to live where I currently do is to expose myself to that subset of the population. I don't have a car, and one of the (internalized) benefits is creating opportunity to chat with a broad spectrum of people. I hope this doesn't sound like I'm tooting my own horn, but I consider myself to be a student of perspective. Many years ago, after university, I joined the Peace Corps. I have direct experience building relationships with folks whose beliefs blind them. I just find it tragic that we seem to be careening toward conflict when it's all so eminently avoidable. So, I try to spread a little grassroots goodwill.
I'd add, I wish that we in America had some form of compulsory or strongly-encouraged foreign service not related to war.
First of all, i don't think you're tooting your own horn, you juuust stated you don't have a car! So its unlikely you happen to have a horn lying about...
Intentional is a good description, but from what i read i want to add sincerity. Thats important, especially in a world of grift and propaganda.
