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?
I live in a supper conservative, traditionalist and patriotic country… I’ve worked in different corperations from small to big and most people have been racists conservative at worst and reactionary centrists at best.
At work I’m often considered a mood kill as I often can’t take it and have trough in a sarcastic remark that breaks their minds a little bit so they move on from their distastefull discussion.
In my free time I mostly hang out with people that are leftist as well and I also enjoy going to leftist political marches and activities.
