Guilty by association

Just as I judge the people on my friendslist for signs of stupidity such as anti-vaxxer, anti-science, conservative, or bigoted beliefs, so too do I judge the people my friends have as their friends. If I see stupid people or bigots on your friendslist, I think less of you for tolerating them in your life. I won't unfriend you over it, probably, but know that I'm side-eyeing you, keeping a closer eye on you, and wondering why someone supposedly intelligent would tolerate such nonsense in their friends and associates. Because I for one have zero tolerance for anti-science idiots and/or bigots. To the point that I stopped talking to my own mother over her anti-mask BS that she wouldn't shut up about.
