I told my coworker I was a communist because fuck it and we talked shit about cars.
That sounds like a fun time, any specific shitty cars?
Mostly the bazingamobiles and how they aren't better for the environment when you consider the resources necessary to manufacture and charge them.
Coworker thinks the solution is making better cars that minimize the extra luxuries and are easily repaired.
I said trains and they were cool with public transportation, but thought they would be unfeasible in suburban areas. I went in on the suburbs and how they were designed around making it unwalkable on purpose.
They didn't treat me like I was irrational, so that was good. They are a fascinating person and they want to convince me to their side in good faith.
I wanted to talk more openly about politics and so I lucked out. I'll be careful in the future about what I say, but I'm glad I advocated for the creation of trains and the destruction of suburbs.
