I don’t talk about politics or religion at the workplace, yet there is a drama queen that loves just blurting out what she thinks to everyone around.
My way to go so far has been to ignore her, but sometimes I just want to yell at her how incoherent she is.
Then I’d be the one starting drama I guess…
I’m looking for advice to deal with these kind of people. I don’t want to work listening to conspiracy theories.
Americans have politicized everything, so talking about basic human rights or vaccinations or milk is now political.
We are also currently dealing with the return of an incoming authoritarian president who is every vile thing imaginable, looking to cement the US as a permanent corporate oligarchy with a splash of Dominionism. We’re all wondering when we’re supposed to say “enough is enough” while we are drowning financially and breaking mentally.
And we are all expected to show up to work each day and talk and play nice like nothing is happening.
☝️This is also the exceptionalism where they don’t realise every western country is like this lol
Politicians have made everything political by inserting themselves as a way to get people to stop talking about a subject as a easy way form themselves to stay relevant, as well as controlling the message to their favor.
