If you want to know who really has the power in this world just see how no one in public is allowed to speak on certain things, whether they are MPs in parliament, guests on TV, or otherwise. If I questioned Hamas "slaughtering 1400 Israeli civilians" in public or with coworkers, or worse yet, said you get what you deserve, I would 100% lose my job, and probably ruin my highly specialised career.
So presumably everyone else has to do a lot of sef-censorship as well?
There isn't usually a strong motivator to bring politics up at the workplace for me, but occasionally it comes up. Sadly when it does I have to draw the line short before my own opinions.
