Examples that come to mind:
- saying your favorite video game is Disco Elysium
- saying your favorite TV show is Star Trek DS9
The two rules are that:
- It has to be to do with a category that is socially acceptable to talk about with most people in a casual setting. So no politics or philosophy.
- Nothing too on the nose, ex, no "I love the music of the Red Army Choir" or something.
I straight up say I'm a communist and people don't understand. My friendship group's pet lib spent 5 years thinking I was constantly espousing communist ideology as a bit.
I've been saying it openly for like 15 years now and every American I've talked to thinks I'm joking until I say something nice about China
I'm manning the barricades as a joke
It's a fun bit. Reading and learning theory for the bit.
