I’ve done that before and even in “oddball” places and its a bit of a dice roll on how positive of an effect it’ll have on the conversation. But then I have a lot of… extreme views.

Fuck yeah! Be that person, hell, be a little selfish - make the fun for yourself first and foremost.

The conversation continuing is fun. If I say something that makes them uncomfortable that tends to end the conversation. Depending on how extreme/strange the belief might even open some hostility.
That said, I agree with your sentiment anyway. Its probably worth the risk just to avoid the more “sad but safe” questions like work, weather, etc.
