I was curious how common it is to be, say, a leftist in a very conservative area.
My county, family, and school are all very conservative. It makes it a bit intimidating to engage in any political discussion. I also rarely get to hear leftist opinion anywhere in person, which means i need to devote a lot of time to considering and thinking about arguments that are probably already solved.
Are you, or have you been, in a similar situation?
I’m in a very red part of a purple-trending-blue state. The people immediately around me are mostly conservative. I’m much closer to an anarchist in my personal beliefs than anything else.
The people at the church I attend–Unitarian Universalist, because there aren’t any Satanists near me–are mostly old hippies. The people I work directly with are mostly marginalized people. So the people I have the most contact with are definitely on the left side of the political spectrum. OTOH, I’m spoken with someone in another dept. at my work place that’s a genuine Nazi apologist, and claims that they only murdered Jews because the Allies waged war against them.
report the nazi to HR please
What’s HR going to do? He’s a POS, but as long as he’s not directing his bullshit at protected classes, what cause of action do they really have?
HR isn’t there to protect workers, it’s there to protect the company. Until he becomes a liability–until he does something that another worker can sue the company over–they’re not gonna do shit.
