Comrades who just don’t give a shit and say whatever you want… how do you do it? (hexbear.net)

I am so conflict-avoidant that I’m now at the point that most people in my life don’t actually have any idea I’m even close to being a commie. I really want to start expressing myself more openly and honestly - especially since I feel like I’m actually harming my mental health by not saying how I feel - but I always feel held back. Any tips on improving this are appreciated.

Find a mic, any mic as long as it's in a public space, then go up to it and say "Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was The Devil, and the government is lying about 9/11"

Or just start saying that to strangers until you feel comfortable.

Didn't Huey say that the government did 9/11, not just lied about it?
