Depends, if a member of your family have a slightly different take on fiskal autonomy you might just ignore it. If a member of your family turned into a radicalized neo-nazi not talking about it is like abandonding them, just like it would be if they got a clinical depression. Certain kinds of ideology are incompatible with peaceful family life and papering over it will make it worse. If you're a well read intellectual, remember that this ideology ultimately would put you into the gas chambers if you said the wrong thing. A family member can have a different political view, but if that view threatens your very existence that is the limit. Now if all you family is neo-nazis and you are the odd one out I suggest to just get out. (I use the wikipedia-first paragraph defintion of neo-nazism here, and I have personal experience with people following that ideology, before anybody claims I mean any fictional strawman variant of it. If you find your own ideology within the definition of the Neo-Nazism article on Wikipedia, that says something about your ideology, not about mine)

> If a member of your family turned into a radicalized neo-nazi not talking about it is like abandonding them, just like it would be if they got a clinical depression. I think it would be hard to find an adult with clinical depression who would choose to have clinical depression if it was a choice. Believing that socio-political and economic theories like neo-nazism are superior is an opinion. It's hard to find folks without opinions. * If someone is talking neo-nazism all the time and that's not interesting to you, then don't talk to them about it. * If anyone is breaking the law to support some political cause... stay away. What matters is what people do. It seems people are looking constantly for reasons to dislike others. Looking for common ground may be a better way to connect.
