Thursday night I was at work drinks, I said I respect vegans and vegetarians because they do good for the environment.
Director was like, "I don't believe that"
I laughed and said, "which? that they're good for the environment? or global warming?"
"Global warming"
What came after was this guy saying how it's all bullshit and I'm just like, "90+% of climate scientists would disagree though?" but he wasn't really wanting a discussion. He wanted to get his talking points out. I was really taken aback.
I think it hits particularly hard when these people are close to you (professionally of course). Every day. They might even be nice otherwise.
It's one thing on social media, but IRL? Well, my solution was to make it clear that we disagree and we just decided not to talk about it. Whenever he tried to convince others though, I'd pipe up again.
