the majority of people in my area are either lib or conservative and very few are socialists and it sucks so bad because u feel politically isolated. im trying to be a bit more permissive and not get upset when my normie friends say some bullshit i know is wrong but i sometimes go days on end without talking to people about these things and it sucks…
I have one coworker who has cool politics and it’s like a breath of fresh air every time we talk. I don’t have to hide or adjust my language and it’s so relieving.
Imagine if you talk to your coworker and you think they are a Marxist because they talk about class struggle, but then they talk about how China is not socialist and that Deng was a capitalist-roader (I watched a video saying that being “rich enough” [paraphrase] meant that they might as well be a capitalist… which is just a horrifically bad understanding of what a capitalist is).
I’m so relieved the maga cop moved and I’ve not heard jack from them since months.
