Do you make political posts on FB and other SM with your name attached?

OP here: Are you worried about employers or otherwise alienating people you may need to interact with at least superficially IRL? For example, others in a club or side hustle or something?

Their problem.
I used to really worry about that w my side gig and meeting new ppl. Over it. My ppl will find me and I hope to god ppl know where I stand on things. 12 ppl contacted me to ask who they should vote for for school board as I was very vocal about education on social media. So, it’s with it for me to be planted firmly in a camp.

Ok you just watch this current S#!++ show from your vantage point and keep acting like nothing is happening. Keep it up.

This is 1938 Germany. Imagine if there was social media.

I post the cell phone videos of what is going on. A lot of people really aren't fully aware.

No. I would be putting my job at risk if I did, and I can’t afford to be fired. I’m afraid to even post anonymously about it. I speak to people in-person only about politics.

Yes but usually backhanded compliments that can be interpreted either way

I am apolitical and I can’t stand the stupidity of people who are devoted to ill informed opinions, this includes both maga and communists.

I am not on social media since 2014. Lame.

Cannot imagine the privilege of remaining “apolitical” in this day and age..

This is dangerous in an environment of AI deepfakes

I think this is terrifyingly similar to 1938 Germany, so I stay silent on social media. I know how to contact people i trust and organize with in ways that aren't publicly broadcast or tracked by companies I don't trust. Nothing I say or don't say on Facebook is going to help at this point.

I deleted social media back in 2022 and don't miss it. Seeing all the supposedly smart, educated people from my Ivy League school support pandemic-era overreach such as extended school closures when I knew they held different opinions IRL made me realize how fake and performative it is.

A moment of silence for the insane amount of teachers who passed from COVID.

People are so mean nowadays. So many haters. Some are my so called friends on FB. Some are MAGA supporters some are ultra liberal.

I just don’t want to engage. Not worth it.

+1 completely agree!!
