American labour, bless your hearts you're not it
Look, apparently it's frowned upon to tell people to "firebomb their boss's car." Because woke.
I just want him to see me more than he does. He doesn’t come around he doesn’t call he just gives me pseudo motivation from an idealist perspective
Yeah, it's kinda like zen philosophy. If this is someone's response when you're sobbing over losing your job it's shitty, but when it's a one off comment in a vacuum, it's well-intentioned and innocuous.
you should bully him for being an idealist
"Sure dad, I'll 'envision' in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first"
Oprah and Doctor Phil and their consequences...
I still vaguely remember back in the day when Oprah platformed "the Secret" and brought all this "manifesting" drek in to public view. Oprah has used her massive viewrship to cause incomprehensible damage over the years.
Her story really would be fascisating from a Marxist perspective. The way her platform gave her such an enormous soap box from which to steer and influence culture, and the ways that she and the systems that supported her show chose to use that soap box.
I love The Monarch and I hate fake religions created by Western occultists by appropriating Eastern religions so this scene is a banger for sure.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Do you think the half a million children who die of malaria every year simply fail to believe in themselves hard enough? Or are we subject to physical reality?
... but you do not make it just as you please; you do not make it under circumstances chosen by yourself, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past.
Ask him if he thinks that would work for Palestinians in Gaza
Or just tell him to refer to this emoji as a rubric for when idealism works vs doesn't
Already asked him if he supported Palestine and the first sentence was “it’s difficult”
furthest-padded sentence I can read before hearing Kamala voice it over
Honestly it's within the range of well intentionedness that I can hear saying this while he fails to solve a children's puzzle.
Then he’d laugh and yell at chat for not eating veggies with theird tendies
It deeply bothers me how someone will make a joke about how it's an easy puzzle and he'll respond by calling them failures in life and then, if he gets called out on it, say "He came at me, I was just better at insulting than he was".
That and who the hell should be taking life advice from a dweeb who gets paid for just playing video games badly while spouting the most banal shit imaginable? He's basically an asmr channel but sometimes explicitly reactionary, and his position in the economy is a defect in society.
kinda hoping to be an american stalin type figure but i kinda blew my early 20s by not robbing brinks trucks and banks
"Hey dad, I have been thinking and I envision a life where my father doesn't send me stupid self help book style lies without having to block him and cut off all contact. You think that's achievable?"
Ask him if someone who dies in a car crash just wasn't desiring hard enough

My dad sends pictures of flowers with Bible verses or similar platitudes on them. And he does it to everyone constantly even at weird hours and even if they never respond. Most of us don’t have him blocked. I have him blocked because he crossed some major boundaries and I no longer trust him to make safe decisions around me.
So if this is the worst of it then, no, you probably shouldn’t block him. Without further context, this is annoying at worst. Also, by “block him” do you mean going no/low contact or do you mean literally just blocking his phone number and interacting with him as normal otherwise?
"son, you can walk to the moon if you want it hard enough. no, I'm wise and experienced not an utter fool, why do you ask?"
