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.
Can you give an example or two of what you mean?

It's so dependent on you knowing the person well enough it hard to give a specific example. Some people, you could straight up call them a dumbass to their face and they won't take it as an insult because they know you as a friend. Others, it might be best to compare what they are talking about to someone you both know for being a dumb chud that you both dislike. Or you could predict what they are running up to saying and get ahead of it by talking about people who think that way being mad at the wrong people.
Every person is going to react to what you say differently, you really gotta tailor your response to achieve the goal of making them feel a little dumb and embarrassed, but like you aren't trying to rub it in or make them feel bad. Definitely avoid trying to goad on a reaction or act like you are trying to bully them, that just causes more trouble.
