Don't be that annoying activist bothering your coworkers and making people feel uncomfortable with incoherent political rants.

> GP mentions how to create a more trusting and closely bonded team
Yes my counter is that you aren't bonding, you're most likely isolating others.
You can rarely change someone's core religious or political beliefs, especially with the weak arguments of today. The workplace is not a place to try to do so.
Talk politics with your friends, not with your coworkers, they are too nice to say they don't want to hear it.

> Quite a lot of overgeneralisation there
I'm not generalizing, I'm saying if you're amongst friends and know they're okay with talking politics go ahead.
If you're amongst coworkers and don't know then shut your mouth so we can all work in peace.
> In some cultures your comment woud be 100% true, but in others, your refusal to discuss such topics would look aloof.
Oh, which cultures? That's kind of my point though, don't force people to talk politics. They shouldn't have to worry about their refusal to discuss a topic or looking "aloof".
Choose to work in a culture you like, rather than trying to impose a culture you like on one you don't.
and you reply "annoying activist bothering your coworkers"?
It really isn’t that hard.
