Some of your takes are better than others, and in today’s climate, anyone is at risk bi-directionally.
While it may be comfortable to talk about intolerance in the general abstract sense, heaven forbid someone actually expresses a belief that’s currently unfashionable.
In the meantime, the rest of us have to figure out how to communicate in a way that’s amenable.
One way that I think tends to give you a bit of leeway is to acknowledge an evil twin. It demonstrates enough awareness to let others give you a bit of slack, and provides a shred of plausible deniability.
Lean into the world building, showcase your other talents. Maybe you have an evil dog who speaks in a Polish accent and there’s a specific time he gets activated (fetch).
What other methods do you find give you epistemic space? I think denouncing but then asking to explore an idea also helps
