On the flip side I appreciate all the free expensive alcohol I get.

      for many years they've known that I "hate liberals", but lately they seem to have sensed that I'm not right wing either 😕

        I've mentioned queer communities and use "partner" for my partner instead of something more specific

      I remember taking offense to being called a liberal at my last job. I didn't say the quiet part out loud, but that was the biggest tell I think.

      A couple of my co workers are comrades. Today one was saying they were glad they were not a manager because they care about labor issues lol so that was cool

        My boss is a member of a different industry's union and participated in their (admittedly milquetoast) strike a few months ago.

        I'm still really cagey and both my coworkers and different flavoured chuds. The Christian one appreciates my knowledge of comparative religion, since everyone else seems to be a "rationalist" that actively avoids knowing anything about religion.

          They don't need religion; they got pseudosecular religion at home.

            At least one is an unbelievably hard core nationalist. He worships the F35 and is considering becoming a cop or a navy stooge. He's also the most belligerent >.>

              Boot-bros are the worst kind of techbros. I've known a few in college that went on to work directly for the military-industrial complex, and they were giddy about doing imperialism. One of them even directly compared himself to Doogie Howser from the Starship Troopers movie. i-am-adolf-hitler
