That doesn't stop people speculating, assuming, or thinking they can infer your opinions.

Woody Allen poked fun of this in a filum he made 40 years ago.

And as you'd expect, the audience missed the joke and took offence by taking it personally. Now of course you can't even mention the woodman without someone invariably bringing up his later life bullshit. Kinda proving the point.

I was just attacked on Twitter the other day for "the company I keep" in regards to me simply watching another creators Youtube videos. Got to the point that I had to block them, as they would not stop saying I was supporting bigotry, blah blah blah. No amount of explaination would do anything, they wanted me to completely and publicly disavow this other creator for things I've never heard them even say.
And of course, even if I did that, it would not be enough. It's never enough...

Let me paraphrase that: if you are on twitter (or any social media for that matter), you have no life  >:D
-sigh-

Woody Allen likes to poke at things like that. My favourite is the one in Annie Hall - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTSmbMm7MDg#t=1m45s

This is what ideological possession does to people.

So your private opinions might be private to you, but that doesn't stop anyone else applying whatever they like to you regardless.

Yep, make one single comment on some topic and some people will instantly infer a complete picture of you in their head, they will make assumptions on all sorts of unrelated stuff based on one single data point. It's absurd.
