I've been working in academia the past couple years. I know that the issue is magnified tenfold in that environment, but having to fake it is honestly becoming grating. I've had to lie to colleagues and say that I'm fully vaccinated because I'm terrified of being shunned if I say otherwise. I'm wearing a fucking mask even though it's not required because I'm scared I'll be singled out if I don't. I smile and nod and play along when people talk about how bad the GOP is and how great everyone on the left is. Don't get me started on the trans issue. I used to laugh at the gay trope that they are "living a lie". I think I'm actually starting to get it now. It's exhausting pretending to be someone you're not.

Now you know why so many germans were part of the nazi party.

Then when eventually this medical regime falls, if it falls, in the future you'll be hunted down in old age for being one of the fucking people who were part of the "vaccinated tyranny" or something like that.
 
Depends on who you are "coming out" too. Also what you mean by "conservative".

If you just mean Ben Shapiro/Charlie Kirk stuff, then no not really. Sure its Nazism to the left because anything to the right of Hillary Clinton is Nazism to the Left. But mainstream conservativism is neither interesting or brave.

Come out as a fascist, or a Nazi or theocrat or something like that-even in a "conservative" environment, now that takes real courage.

"Don't get me started on the trans issue. I used to laugh at the gay trope that they are "living a lie". I think I'm actually starting to get it now. It's exhausting pretending to be someone you're not."

I feel you on this. It feels like a form of self mutilation(autistic as that sounds). To deny what you really are and what you really believe, social approval and status be damned.
 
It's not just harder, it's literally dangerous. Fags like to pretend their lives are in constant danger but AIDS took more of them than fag stompers ever have. Just don't make yourself into a freak show target and nobody will even know or care that you suck cock. Vast majority of attacks on fags are preventable, occurring because they hit on straight dudes or dress extremely faggy to the point that it offends the senses.

As a conservative, if you're in the wrong area you better not even wear that "I voted" sticker they give you at the polls if you're White and don't have purple hair. I threw that shit straight into the trash.

Half of my opinions and perspective on the current state of political and social affairs in America would be considered "conservative." Political alignments have been misused ad nauseam, there's no point in worrying about it.

Unless you have a job, in which case stating an opinion that might be interpreted as "conservative" (let alone 'coming out" as one) is likely to get one fired.

Otherwise sure--no worries!

I've heard this argument, and I'll give you the 1960s-70s were a backlash against the 1940-50s. I don't know where, assuming reaction is really the cultural impulse, Thrash Metal, 90's pop / rap, 'emo kids and their damned electronic music', came from. It seems from my point of view that one thing against another thing just became a Frankenstein action/reaction mess occurring at the same time. People don't swing back and forth, they fought over the cultural pendulum and broke it in two in the 1980s. Since then, two societies of high and low culture developed with the high culture being an abusive father and the low culture being the screaming child.

From 1980 to 2020, its been 'cool' to be a fuck-up because society was too hard on you. Which considering how much people spend on rent + income taxes (and you can add sales tax for most of the world) every year is fair.


Until one day, for no reason at all, people treat a man "coming out" as a "national socialist" like America's rich treated Jeffery Epstein.

I remember the middle photo, Icy Hot Stuntaz, can't get more late 90s/early 2000s as that. I think it was all done as some kind of joke?
 
I'm a conservative because I think red looks better than blue
Yeah I also shop at target. Fuck Walmart.
 
> be gay
> agree with some conservative ideas

> can't talk about politics without losing social circle
 
You don't need to 'come out' with your political views to anyone. I follow my own political/social views and only reveal them to others if hard pressed to do so because

I think the issue is whether you see political beliefs as some sort of identity marker, or more a conviction arrived at through experience, investigation, and reflection.

Liking soccer and wearing adidas is an identity marker-a surface affectation, what you believe about humanity, God, and the ultimate destiny of this world is something far more serious.

For far too many people-their politics is something shallow, like whether or not they prefer chocolate or vanilla, when political convictions need(in my view) to be as deep, as all encompassing, and as unrelenting as religious ones.
 
I'm not gonna do either because I hate wearing a tie.
