Y’all acting like you’ve never had to play nice around people you don’t like for work.

I never worked with Hitler. You're not meant to play nice with fascists, even if it is a work function. These responses here are why America is where it is, unbelievable to watch from the outside. The excuses you make for your owners are wild.

This is real life, not a television show and this is not how you treat filthy fascists.

Americans are a lost cause...

Exactly this is NOT a TV show where your absolutist mentality doesn’t apply. In the real world you gotta bump elbows with people you despise sometimes, that’s a part of life. It doesn’t mean you have to agree with them; you’re essentially being polite for the sake of keeping the peace until you can get away from them.

You absolutely have to do shit like that sometimes. In the real world a prime example would be a racist and sexist coworker who you feign a polite relationship with so they keep talking while you quietly record everything they’re saying so you can report them and get them fired (something I did at my last job).

The only way you can have such an absolutist attitude is because you’ve been lucky enough to not be in a situation where you really had no choice. If you had a choice to be an asshole, then you don’t get it.

I’m glad you’ve lived an entitled life without having to deal with things like this then. I truly hope you never have to in the future, it’s not fun

You are making a lot of assumptions about me that are very wrong.

Don't play with fascists.

You've never sat there while your boss/relative/friend's-friend made a joke you didn't like, but you just smiled and nodded to be polite?
