I was curious how common it is to be, say, a leftist in a very conservative area.
My county, family, and school are all very conservative. It makes it a bit intimidating to engage in any political discussion. I also rarely get to hear leftist opinion anywhere in person, which means i need to devote a lot of time to considering and thinking about arguments that are probably already solved.
Are you, or have you been, in a similar situation?
Im an anarchist who works blue collar in the rural Bible Belt. It’s torture. Either I get in arguments with everyone around me or i spend all my time biting my tongue. Ive gotta get out of here.
Going to DSA meetings is a breath of fresh air but I never have the time.
