A lot of people are simply insufferable so I dont even try to make new friends. I've got a relatively big circle of old time friends and I'll keep it at that. Im a lot younger than you but I cant deal with TikTok brains same goes for right wing retards or people who believe in religions or other esoteric stuff. It's not easy to meet people with actual intellect
I don't agree with you. I am as leftist as it gets, but I don't let my political beliefs get in the way. I subscribe to r/ccw (gun subreddit) and some conservative subs because I want to understand where the right wing people is coming from.
I think younger generations have lost Nuance, in the University I had several good friends who had very opposite political views from me. Still we could sit down and play a D&D round.
