I got a coworker that speaks out quite openly and gets fired up when he thinks something is wrong.
Another coworker asked him about his family history and it all made sense, my fired up colleague's family participated in the Dutch resistance against the nazis.
@Oyetessa my husband's family did too.
@Oyetessa Not in an obvious way. He's very low-key, in general. Like, he doesn't argue on the internet very much. But we've talked about what's happening here at length and he gets worked up in those conversations. (We both do, really.)
