I was curious how common it is to be, say, a leftist in a very conservative area.

My county, family, and school are all very conservative. It makes it a bit intimidating to engage in any political discussion. I also rarely get to hear leftist opinion anywhere in person, which means i need to devote a lot of time to considering and thinking about arguments that are probably already solved.

Are you, or have you been, in a similar situation?

    Was talking with one person about Madhani and she asked “isn’t he trying to make everything islam there?”

    I just can’t with this kind of person. And apparently we’re in a country full of them.

    I mean how fucking thoughtless do you need to be to hear that and not question it? It’s so fucking embarrassing, honestly
