>>35072283Do you care about your health insurance costing you more and still gouging you? You care about politics. Do you care about the price of gasoline (plus all other goods due to transportation costs) rising rapidly for no good reason at all? You care about politics.
>>35072283>damn that's crazy>damn that sucks>true>I agree>sure bro
>>35072283>What's the neurotypical-approved response to this situation?Just say you don't have an informed opinion on the subject and don't feel comfortable commenting on it. Or simply "I don't discuss politics at work"That's the neutral way to tell people who want to force you to tell them politics at work to fuck off. Either way, don't pick a side, stay neutral, people will use the knowledge against you and form negative opinions either way. They are looking for a way to manipulate the workplace politics. If you say woke as fuck shit or go on a fascist tirade, it never goes well. Just don't.
Ignore and force the conversation back on topic

I’d love to hear more!” Those people are the fucking worst but they’re out there.The best reply to shit that shit down that’s ever worked for me is>Dude, I just want everybody to be okay and have what they need.Generally nobody will argue against that so you can easily sweep the conversation along afterward.
>>35072333It might be that OP isn't completely apolitical, but rather that he recognizes his time is a finite resource, which is pretty based, I will admit.
>>35072333politics is like 2% actual things to help regular people like that and 98% stuff like>And who was sitting on the advisory board of the Prairie Heritage Trust in 2014? Gerald Voss. Now, Gerald Voss>and this is public record, folks>co-signed a lease in Duluth with a man named Dennis Arkwright. Who's Dennis Arkwright? Dennis Arkwright's brother-in-law, Phil Tamsin, did consulting work for Meridian Outcomes Group. And who funds Meridian Outcomes Group? The Halvorsen Family Foundation. And who was the keynote speaker at the Halvorsen Family Foundation's 2017 galaA gala, by the way, with a shrimp tower that cost eleven thousand dollars.
