I was in class Thursday, and a fellow classmate that is a raging commie left to take a phone call from his dad.
He came back into class sniffling and shaking. It looked like he was having a panic attack. I asked my professor if we could take a break because I "needed to piss", and he said okay.
The commie followed me outside, and I asked him if he was doing well.
We usually chill in the bathroom during break time and he vapes. We don't agree at all politically, but we have similar movie tastes. He's a chill dude, although I hate the fact that he's a commie.
Anyway, this dude bursts into tears, and starts sobbing in the middle of the hallway. He says he's getting a colonoscopy after class because he has all the signs of colon cancer.
/pol/ I always try to act like a tough guy and I don't want to believe that niceness is a good trait, but I couldn't help it. I have never seen a man cry like that, and something inside me felt sympathy for him.
I behaved like a fucking liberal and sat down with him outside for ten minutes and told him that no matter what happens he was taking the right step and would pull through it with the help of his loved ones and friends.
I was nice to a communist, a type of person I have shit on for years on this board. I was anti-kindness because it fosters the slippery slope, but I couldn't not be nice.
I was nice to a communist, and I don't feel bad. I feel like I did the right thing.
Have any of you ever connected with someone who shares political opinions you despise?
