 The same here. That said, I'm not required to talk to these friends as
part of my work. Friends and Coworkers are, often, very different
things. My friends know all kinds of things about me and discuss all
kinds of topics that I would never bring up to a coworker who *also*
doesn't happen to be a close friend (of which I have several).

Am I required to read these articles or interact with the authors in
order to continue to do my job or even to be employed?

Potentially divisive views (especially when it is known that they are
divisive) that have nothing to do with our work should not be shared
with coworkers unsolicited. Full stop.
