What bothers me the most about this is how simply expressing your unpopular views is now regarded as harassment. I got the same message recently in a work ordered training on harassment policies. In the training I got they just said to avoid discussing any topic that may be controversial. But I know that's not really true. Nobody is going to get in trouble or called in to HR for saying they support popular leftist bullshit. But if I were to simply state many of my opinions in a non-confrontational way I would be punished or fired. It makes me feel like I'm a spy in enemy territory. I have to maintain a facade to avoid being attacked. Truthfully I can't speak honestly with anyone at all, not even family. I don't think the family would attack me but I'd rather not damage those relationships so I just don't get into it. The only way I can express my opinion is anonymously in a forum that allows free speech, which isn't even this one. It's really a burden on my life. I would really appreciate having even one friend that I could express my views to without them feeling the need to correct my wrongthink or cancel me.
