Most of my beliefs are more like tendencies or interests anyway. I believe when something crosses over into belief it always loses an aspect of truth; such is the definition of faith.

to set the stage here I organized as a college student/adjacent to a political cult (was never 100% brainwashed and pulled in) so this answer is going to diverge from many other answers. I’ll say in my opinion that trying to divide or merge person and politic is a zero sum game or detrimental for my personal life and political consequences at large
I don’t allow myself to get into situations where this would be remotely possible and that either comes off as extremely myopic or cushioned from reality but I’m choosing to accept that. In my friendships or making new friends I try to be a remotely ok judge of character to determine if political beliefs will inflame the friendship
no amount of brain power would make me consider changing someone’s mind on politics in a friendship but its likely im on the same page of people who are moderate or political disengaged to discuss freely about it
Hannah Arendt once observed that the personal and political spheres merging creates this space where we can no longer ”act” in politics but we behave as economic actors or consumers. I think she’s on the money about this to this day - politics on the whole are very much boiled down to a market choice for me and not visible in my personal life much

people loveee to say that they don’t let their politics interfere with their personal life, but the fact of the matter is that there is no disentangling them from each other. your political beliefs are influenced by your personal beliefs and vice versa. there is no separating them.

Engaging in things such as “fan wars” “ships” “fan gossip” is essentially engaging in politics without some of the ethical strain so long as you’re not actively harming anyone and just having discourse about something. It also tells me a lot about what a persons actual politics probably are.
