Anybody have any tips for keeping calm when a chud says their usual callous shit? I'm still a bit piqued from today.

Edit: Thank you all for your helpful comments. I greatly appreciate it.

I guess it's just exposure.
There's more of them than there are comrades or fellow travelers where I am so I just get used to hearing the worst talking points imaginable and got a feel both for knowing when someone might be receptive to my POV and also knowing how much to and not to extend.
Not really sure how to teach or explain it though.
I basically default to telling myself I'm entering "enemy territory" when going into the general local population is probably the best way I can explain it.
