Rude is the coworker who thinks their shirts meant to antagonize anyone left of the US version of “center” are hilarious, rude are the coworkers who talk shit about trans people on break, rude are those who spend every conversation saying “mentally ill people should be locked up and oh by the way trans people are mentally ill”, rude are the ones who make the LGBTQ employees scared that one day they’ll just come to work and find a parking lot full of people waiting to jump them because the government said it’s legal.
I consider myself quite polite when these things happen in my workplace and I’m not slashing tires or torching cars, and instead all I do is say “hey that’s not okay and here’s why…”
Doesn’t stop HR from coming and telling me I need to be respectful of my coworkers opinions. (HR guy is a democrat, but like… One of those “if you’re being oppressed please resist quietly and peacefully within the confines of the oppressive laws made specifically to target you” kind of liberals)
Remember kids: the standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

Yeah I got pulled into a meeting with HR for not respecting the opinions of a flat earther. He was the most useless most passive drone I’ve ever met.
At one point turned his screen upside down and he tried to work with that for a week before he asked IT about it.
