what you are describing. At least here, people mostly don't give a flying fuck about anyone else's life. Unless you are aggressive about what you say to people, at least if you were here, no one would care much. You'd get ignored, perhaps somewhat isolated, depending on how vocal you might be about your opinions. Most people here just don't offer much in the way of political opinions.

Just don't go out of your way to offend anyone.
