I’ve also converted to metric which annoys everyone at work but they respect my reasoning too much to stop me

Be the change you want to see in the world.
On the point of metric, my partner is more used to Imperial measurements so I’ve just put up little hand drawn conversion charts around the house, mostly the kitchen.
On the point of lib bashing, that’s harder. You can really only have those more nuanced conversations with open-minded people in smaller groups (or just find your local socialists).

Yeah, fortunately as an engineer I just have to say "I’m the one who has to do the math on these numbers so I’m doing my layouts in metric rather than converting between x/2^n inches and feet
