a username or some post/comment reminds me of some person from my past that I haven’t thought about in years, and I wonder if maybe there is a crossing of paths without even realizing it
seems really unlikely, but then who can really say, we’re just some comrades shitposting and vibing
I get a bit paranoid that coworkers will find my comments somewhere and realize I’m actually a straight-up dirty commie and not just a vaguely progressive liberal… my workplace has no real labor protections that would help me and I need to stay employed.

Yea no shot, lol. I’d rather they see my Lemmy.ml comments and posts, which are generally much higher quality and more thought-out, than my Hexbear posting, lol
Same. I feel like I need to start masking as a lib because the fascist rhetoric from co-workers is gonna get me fired. I try not to talk too politically but I have this one co-worker that is a straight up fash, and I’m gonna end up saying something. I just hope it’s liberal-coded enough.
Yep, always gotta keep plausible deniability. I try to gently provide based takes in a way that is easily acceptable when I can, though.
I try to frame it as coming from an apolitical History Guy angle: “Damn that’s crazy man, well good luck with that but you’re probably gonna get owned, I’ll be here chillin.”
I got drunk at the work Xmas party and told a Trump guy that I was a communist (and that I wanted to fuck the HR lady). He was actually kind of cool about it later.
Did you end up hooking up with the HR person?
No I was talking shit. I’m married and it would have ruined my life lol.
That’s for the best then. Haha
Huh, can’t admit to having done the same yet, haha. Definitely try to tone down my radicalism.
Funny enough, I find the finance-dudebros end up being the most receptive to positive news about the PRC, if you can point to them focusing heavily on industrialization making surpassing financialized economies like the US more of a matter of when, not if.
Yeah I normally keep it cool, but I overshare when I get drunk.
