It's pretty disconcerting, my own family rambling isn't very dramatic because I don't care to talk serious politics with my parents.

But I was expressing just general frustration and sadness over the plight of Gazans a couple of months after Oct 7. I mighta been expressing some admiration for the Houthis too, probably. and my "leftie" dad was like "well the Arabs are pretty violent and have their own bad stuff you know." like this motherfucker did a both sides on that shit? AND MAKE IT RACIAL? He really should know better. Dickhead raised me on stories of how when I'd grow up and go to university I'd get to experience heated debate between students and their Marxist lecturers and how communism was a project worthy of respect.

Now I realise he just liked feeling edgy in his early 20s lmao. Motherfucker told me, after I'd lost my job during a complete collapse burnout and mental breakdown, got evicted because the landlords wanted to do something different with my home I was renting, that he thought my mum was too soft letting me move back in, that I should give her more credit or something, because if it was up to him I'd just be homeless to build character and I guess get my life back together through grit and hard work?

I love the dude but man fuck that guy he's such a dumbass stoner idiot. ^{just like me} _{but not the same way inshallah}
