I have views on the handling of covid that I'm afraid to say on twitter. This is interesting because there's not a lot I'm afraid to say on twitter.
Even more interesting is I wasn't fully aware of the fear until recently; it felt like I just "didn't feel like talking about it"

Reconsider. Your in group is smart and knowledgeable and the probability that you are wrong is high.

Right, but one thing that took me a long time to learn is that occasionally they *are* wrong, and I do have the confidence to occasionally disagree with high confidence

Fear is a sign to do something or not.
Survival is what dictates your choice.
Choose what ensures your survival no matter what.

There few things that have been more divisive in my experience. My posts at the beginning of the pandemic infuriated friends and family, *regardless* of what I actually said. It was the topic, not my stance.

There will come a time when only "correct" views on the topic will be allowed.
We may already be there.
