I definitely don't show all I believe except when in good company, mostly because there's no point at all ranting about 'dictatorship of the proletariat' to someone who's gonna check out as soon as they hear 'dictatorship.' But I'm not afraid to lose a friend or start a big argument with a lot of other people when it's called for.
I've posted here before about recruiters in my area, and I've taken action against them by reaching out to people with info where possible. I self censor when I do, I never tell people the long story of how American imperialism is a system that arises out of international finance capital's need to split up the world and monopolize resources + labor, and I don't tell people how the military actions are one and the same as the soft power, covert ops utilized to project power across the world. 95% of people don't need to know all that stuff to understand why they shouldn't sign up to work at Raytheon, they just need a couple figures about how much harm wars in the Middle East have caused and pictures of villages in the countries their bombs land on.
