So keep your political leaning to yourself to avoid generalisation, then tackle discussions / issues on a stand-alone basis?
Seriously, am I the only one who thinks this whole political identity thing is the dumbest fucking thing ever?
As for people who lose their jobs over shit like this, you’d think given how seriously it is taken in the US, they’d have the sense to just keep their political leaning to themselves?
Or is this bad because people are “afraid to voice their opinions”?
If so, I truly commend such people for daring to voice their beliefs knowing they might lose their livelihood.
Especially since the culture there is to live paycheck by paycheck, i.e. getting fired is a death sentence.
Personally, I am not so dumb as to throw away my future for such a stupid reason, especially if I have a family to take care of & a long term life goal that I’m working towards.
Tl;dr - Tackle discussions / issues on a stand-alone basis. Political identity should be kept quiet for pragmatic reasons.
(Also because it’s a stupid f**king concept)
