in ye olden days you used to solve that with an understood social standard of 'polite' topics.

i would like to say, that this is at least somewhat observable today at places like work; but also, society has changed a lot.

Still common in many countries (where you never discuss religion or politics unless it’s after 2am and you’re all drunk).

Personally, I dislike the “bring your whole self to work” thing that companies like google encourage (used to?), where people talk about extremely polarizing topics on the company chat groups.
