Maybe try shutting up about politics? Work isn’t really the forum for that generally although it can depend on your relationship with your colleagues. If you want to talk politics try doing it with other people you have a closer relationship with, nobody owes you a forum for political discussion.

Work, the place you go to serve the coperate overlords, isn’t political?

You can discuss politics, but the way you’re writing makes it sound like you’re preaching at your coworkers. People tend not to respond very well to being told how to think, even if you’re right. Perhaps you’re wasting your energy and risking your job when you could be organizing a club after work hours instead? If you really hate your bosses though, you have two choices: quit or organize a union (which might be right up your alley from how you’re talking)

I’m just asking for a culture change. We’ve let the racist make everything so toxic that having reasonable political positions isn’t possible anymore. Now thing are hot and they want us all to hold the coals while keeping quiet.

Culture is what people believe on average, even if you believe that it originated from the rich. You need people on your side if you want to make progress. Sorry to say that politics is mainly a popularity contest with policies being the second class citizen in debates (student class presidents for example, it doesn’t change they just get older and more powerful). I’m not telling you to give up, just suggesting that you change tactic. If you go around calling people racist you’re not gonna convert anyone, and if your goal is not to convert then I don’t know how you expect to make lasting change. Listen to their side, even if you don’t agree. People love to be listened to, and you need people to open up and feel safe to change their opinions and not be on the defensive around you. And if there’s just straight up racist policies at your job, again that is what unions can help with to curb workplace discrimination through solidarity (which also needs people all to be on the same side)

This whole manner of engaging in a discussion is just really annoying and most people probably won’t find it worth their time to engage with you, let alone people who just want to do their jobs. Maybe spend some time learning about how to engage with people productively or you’ll be in for a bad time whenever you step outside your echo chamber.

Sorry concern for someone other then you and your job annoys you.

Sorry people aren’t receptive to your mental jerk of sessions at work then I guess.
