it's especially disappointing when I initially think they're pretty cool. I can't take anyone seriously when they unironically use "woke" as a negative descriptor

MODERATORS
They could be the hottest woman on the planet and they're instantly ogre status the moment I find out they're conservatives. I don't care how cool/hot someone is. They're instantly ugly trash if they out themselves as conservative.
Ask them to define woke. They never can.
Are we acting like this isn’t the case for 99.5% percentage of the western population?
This is what I assume is baseline, not sure why we need two whole minutes.
Just get up and walk away. That's what I do. Don't bother excusing yourself. Just walk off.
You aren't obligated to be polite to people who support billionaires/felons/rapists. They don't deserve to be spoken to.
Either I would've shattered their beliefs already or just disappeared to let myself breathe non-toxic air.
Man, this happens so much to me because i work with a lot of random people. I never told anyone about my beliefs, world views or anything really. But for some reason everyone needs to tell me their theories without anyone asking.
Out of nowhere there is a: i'm not racist, but. Or: why do you drink your coffee black? Are you vegan? Did you know that cancer has only been a thing since human ate all that grain? I only eat meat because... Did you know corona is...
I'm so sick of this shit, why is it always the nutjobs that have to ve tge loudest?
A guy at my work is like this. He ended up being the only person I spoke to irl that actually went off on the bullshit immigrants-eating-cats-and-dogs thing that mango mussolini was screeching about a while back. Had another unasked-for immigrant conversation the other day when he butted in on my break time. Fucking hate people like this, I just want the guy to get the hint to shut the fuck up and leave me alone.
Don't fuck about:
"Your politics bore me" maintain eye contact, enjoy the uncomfortable silence.
