When he talks of his own volition, he's in favour of things like workers' rights and social housing, but he also is a fan of Joe Rogan so he just parrots whatever he hears.
The funniest time was when I told him I was with Unite and was trying to get our department unionised. He came back with a long tirade about how my union is funded by blackrock and it's all a big con. I said I'm going to have to check this when I get home because that doesn't sound right.
Turned out he was mixing it up with Unite student accommodation, which has no relation. No, I didn't let him forget it.
Yeah I know, I haven't spoken to him in a while. But he was a decent mate, he's just been brainwashed by social media, you can tell he's just repeating verbatim what he's seen online. I'm in a position where the people around me are so toxic that he's probably still the best person I have on my side atm. That's how bad things are.
