I get you. My family literally will not shut the fuck up about how much they hate homeless people. Literally when they see me or each other after not having visited in a while, the topic they always want to bring up is how awful the homeless people are for being dirty and annoying.

Or bitch about how wages going up "so much" is causing inflation, and casting it as "oh these lowly fucks want more money, but they just made their groceries more expensive" lol.

I flicker between hearing this shit and remembering when I was a kid and had to give back several hundred dollars of saved up allowance money so that my dad could pay the fucking mortgage on our family home because he had been unemployed for several months. We were poor my whole fucking life growing up but now these old fucks want to act like they're rich for some reason.

I try to remind myself that they aren't public figures and aren't out there actively trying to influence people to think like that, but it hurts a lot to hear them say awful shit like that. I want to think of them as good people that will be on the same page as I am when this all falls apart, but that's hard because those are all beliefs and attitudes that I think are basically causing the downfall of our society and species.
