Just had a company event and out of nowhere they all started talking about ma freeze peach and how China is “literally 1984” and how we can see that our main conflicts nowadays are between “evil autocracy” and “democracy with western values where it could never happen that the press is lying”. I had to bite my tongue so hard the entire time, which I think they noticed. In the end I just said that I don’t want to provoke the inevitable world war 3 even more, which killed the mood hard lol.

It’s so frustrating to be alone in a group of “intellectuals”… Especially if you need to stay civil to not get fired.

    Sometimes I need to be more aware of Belgium and specifically my city being somewhat based as I don’t really hear that much lib rhetoric anymore. No one really talks like what you mentioned above, and everyone seems to have at least a somewhat socialist base in them. It’s a pretty underrated country really.

    Now, whenever I’m back in my home country The Netherlands, the huge lib talk like what you said comes out in full force. It’s such a big difference compared to Belgium.

    I just don’t engage that much with liberals that much. I try to get my point across but if they keep yelling dumb stuff I just go on and do something else. I don’t have any time for that these days.
