Me [F] and techbroworker [M] having be employed at the same place for months. He's seemed pretty cool but also never revealed any clues about political affiliations or dogwhistles until today. We've had pretty good experiences in the few times we needed to work together on a ticket.

Obviously he's been smart enough to hide his power level for so long, but there is no telling if he's mildly conservative or a raging monarchist/burgundist.

I'm also hiding my power level, call it a six sided grizzly hiding in the shadows if you will. I think nobody knows how much of an extremist communist I am but my mermaid hair and septum piercing and covid19 wearing and openly breasted chestiscles might already be a modern day hammer and sickle to these people.

Also curious if there was a better generic selfpost community for this kind of post.

No specific question, but thoughts and advice plz.

    Honestly if you live in the imperial core there are a lot of well-intentioned people who are so propagandized they fall into all sorts of holes trying to figure out the world, and that can often mean esoteric right politics.

    If you get along well that's much more to build on than most of us have when trying to convince the other side. I think it's much more strategically powerful to be good-natured, friendly and always correct than to cast away people who haven't figured it out yet. There are a lot of people on this site who had weird phases too.

    Build your relationship, be right all the time, and capitalize on the fact that he thinks you're cool. Maybe you can convince him, or maybe you just plant a seed that grows within him. Honestly the communists I used to work with have no idea that they brought me to their side.
