I talk to like-minded individuals at work all the time, but these are my friends, I know their views, I know what subjects I can safely bring up. I don't want some wokester accusing me of not being in on The Cause because I ditched a BLM All-Hands at lunch time.

There is a reason why we don't talk about politics and religion in the office openly. We learned these lessons the hard way.
