Stigma causes anxiety and causes one to recoil from certain behaviors because you don’t want to be frowned upon or thought ill of.
When you don’t say something you believe or participate in a practice you don’t wish to because you don’t want to be fired, cancelled, attacked or bullied. That is fear.
Clearly they share some common threads. But at the end of the day stigma typically just makes you feel bad about yourself where the induced fear of the left is a direct threat of actual harm.
Eating all the shrimp at a Chinese buffet and getting the side-eye from workers and people there is stigma.
Not wearing a MAGA hat while walking down the street because you don’t want to get punched in the face is fear.
October 1, 2023 at 8:53 am #307430I don’t wear political stuff in general to avoid any conflict if I can help it.
I don’t care if you’re conservative, independent, or democrat, but to wear any political beliefs in any open area is asking for someone to come at you and unless you want that conflict, it’s best to avoid.
For me it’s not about fear, it’s about securing the safety of my family. Should we live in. A society where I have to worry about that? No. But you’re going to get that one POS who wants to start something in any state.

Yes, you are restraining yourself due to fear of direct threat of something happening that is exactly what I am talking about.
10 or more years ago you could walk down the street with political stuff on and no one would bug you. They might glare at you or make a face but you did not have to worry about someone beating you half to death. This is fairly new situation and it is intentional. People now self sensor and do not dissent openly for fear of attack from others or the government itself.

That is a bald face lie sir and I can tell you right away there was always police who have political bias, there are individuals with political bias, and it’s been that way for quite a while.Is it bad was it is today? Probably not, but to sit there and say that everyone and everything was civil politically beforehand is a total fabrication in itself. If I wanted to get a huge wrap for my car saying Trump 2024, I wouldn’t be afraid to do it, I wouldn’t want to because I rather keep my politics to myself.
“Yes, you are restraining yourself due to fear of direct threat of something happening that is exactly what I am talking about.”
I’m not restraining myself out of fear, I’m doing so because I don’t want to confront people when I don’t have to. It’s one thing if you’re completely okay with confronting politically biased people or police, it’s another when you don’t want to and don’t want to run into those individuals.
I live in the great state of Florida where we all conceal and carry which I carry regularly, fear is not my concern, it’s choosing to avoid confrontation.
Just like you can choose to put political stuff on your car and receive confrontation or a hat or whatever. I don’t like to share what I like to keep private and that includes my religion, political status, or my income.
Do you show your driver’s license to anyone or how about your social security card? I maintain my political identity to myself because that’s how I was raised. Being afraid has nothing to do with it. There’s a difference with being too afraid to show your political flag and being too private to show your political flag.
