preserving familial peace
bruh have they never been to grandma's for family dinner? lmao
How do you "defend 'Israel' firmly, fairly and proportionally" against your family? AFAIK cluster munitions and murder drones are hard to get for civilians.
“Marxism consists of thousands of truths, but they all boil down to one sentence: It is right to rebel.”
Missing out. My siblings kid asked if 9/11 happened because America was such a racist country.
This is why us, adults in the room, eat our young
And god said to American Abraham
"Kill your so-"
And the knife was already through his heart. American Abraham replied
"Sorry I was stabbing my son, what did you say, my Lord?"
HAhAHAH
holy fuck. best poster. best post. not tryna ride your sack twice in two days or w/e but damn I cackled.
Wondering why my kids won’t talk to me after I said we should exterminate the untermenschen savages at thanksgiving
how on earth could it be any more obvious that if you fear your own young, you have completely fucked up individually and structurally as a people/project?
like, i'm not pretending all the young are enlightened indigo empathy wizards or that there aren't traumatized / indoctrinated youth out there that wouldn't do me and put me in a dumpster for $20, but that's also an indictment of our society as much as anything else too.
but to fear the judgement and hostility of the young from friends and family that make up the community of your cherished institutions is some real "are we the baddies" type shit.
In America it's not just fear either, it's a healthy dose of hate and resentment. Whenever kids or especially teenagers decide to spend time somewhere they're treated like an invasive species and driven out.
The zoomers will dab on our corpses one day.
Israeli kid guns down Palestinian kid
His father: Aaaaah, that's my boy!
What does it say of people, when their kids pursue such different paths and beliefs and generally come to the conclusions that their parents are pieces of shit?
Turns out, a genocidal, racist, bigoted and hyper-exploitative settler-society (Isntreal and AmeriKKKa and much of the west, really) tends to have that experience. Who woulda thought...
rambles of shit family but in a vindicated manner
Honestly I know my sis and I feel a lot of vindication in that, of all 6 kids, literally none of us now in adulthood (the youngest is 18) has much if any respect for either parent, and can recognize they were cartoonishly terrible people and- while they have both I suppose improved- neither remains anywhere remotely near a role model (at most I have respect for my mom for bringing herself back to some semblance of normalcy and being a decent person, from rock bottom- I appreciate her). We were all raised thinking that one of the parents was practically saintly in particular, but turns out that nope- he's an absolute POS, and even more of one than initially thought, even (if nothing else he hopefully knows to not be an ass to the siblings still living with him, sounds like he does). Not "the worst person" imaginable maybe, but an utter shithead and in many ways lower than dirt; I have sympathy for how he turned out this way and wish otherwise, but a narcissistic monster.
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
Grandpa you were my first removed
Grandpa... you said... there was no other...
Grandpa grandpa would open the door -
We could be having that inter-generational solidarity but you playin'.
