Well I certainly can't convince you that it's possible to make friends wherever people can regularly communicate, that's for sure. I'm not sure why considering it's been long-established.
This will really surprise you. You will probably say they had no real friendship until they met in person even though it's clear they did:

This is what I said. You interpreted this as me saying that friendship is impossible, but I wasn't intending that. I do think it's hard, and shallow, but sure it can be done.
What I think is impossible in comment's sections is political action, which is what we were talking about before you brought up the power of friendship.
You have to log off to change people's minds about politics.
Yes, I know you think you understand my friendships better than I do.
You don't.
You don't know me, you don't know my friends.
Stop pretending you do. Stop implying I'm lying.
It may be hard for you to make friends. It may be that your friendships are shallow. Stop telling me mine are because you have no fucking idea.
This is the stupidest attempt at gaslighting I have ever seen.
