    If I’m genuinely speed running this and don’t have consequences is probably drop slurs followed by multiple, conflicting extreme political opinions involving violence and the like. The goal is that even if you find a racist who is excited about your slurs you can hit 'em with extreme progressive takes like “kill all men” or something.

    Worst case, after saying a bunch of bad things and conflicting opinions they’ll probably still just think you’re odd.

    A better but boring answer, just say “nevermind, I don’t want this job” first thing. lol.

      Story time: That happened to me. I was the interviewer.

      The canidate showed up and answered my first question with “I accepted another offer this morning.”

      It was a short interview.

      I think my notes just said “poor communication skills”, which seemed nicer than “didn’t occur to them to text rather than show up”.

        It was something that radical feminists used to say a few years back.

        Edit: To be clear, I’m not saying I agree with this sentiment nor am I saying it’s something I think is reflective of progressives, but it’s a controversial thing to say that will make a lot of people angry. It was just an example of something that makes a lot of people angry.
