To get back to the topic of the thread, I do not think it is a rigid monoculture. In this sense, I agree with you. I see it more as a spectrum. I don't think that you will be cancelled wherever you go, either, merely that it will be much more difficult to strike up a debate or to keep it going. People tend to just glaze over and change the topic to something more fun or pretend-taboo, but not much more than that. If you do decide to test it out, I don't predict that anything remarkable will happen beyond an awkward lull in the conversation. My entire point is that I was surprised because of all the beliefs you mentioned having tested out in a social setting, all seemed to sit squarely within that spectrum (distancing from other classes, technocratic solutions to social ills, desire to bypass the government... etc.). Some examples of ideas that would probably be less well received: - Far-left principles involving redistribution of tech worker capital - Explicit racism instead of the condescending or implied version - Anything to do with reversing gentrification or having poor people move next to their homes Basically anything that would upset someone who is both socially liberal on the surface but has a discreet cynical side and a strong material incentive to keep the status quo going. In other words, a neoliberal. Beyond that, there's not much else I was looking to add or test out.
