I got drunk and high, he said some bullshit about how only capitalisms could innovate something and I just went fucking off. He's good at verbally sparring and came back at me with some advanced* questions and I truly lost it. He's not a 1% but at least a 10% and I yelled at him for never producing anything and not understanding the real world. The pièce de résistance was telling him "you're a good guy and it sucks if you get run over in the revolution but it's worth it."
He really is a good dude and I'm currently living here for free! He even picks up my beer sometimes! He's really hurt and I feel bad.
*He has a good understanding of Nordic style socialism and very good knowledge of (the propaganda version) US history. So at least it wasn't babies first economics.
I’m sorry comrade but you are unfortunately in violation of proclamation #286 in the Belden program: “be normal”
Report to re-education immediately
Hit the emergency log-off button, comrade!
Knowing nothing else about this man, from your narration, we at least know he is using his bourgeoisie privilege to in part support a comrade (you) and so is not worth nothing? Does that rehabilitate him in your mind?
Oh I definitely don't think he deserves the wall or anything he's just misguided by 70 years of propaganda. I was definitely in the wrong to attack him.... But he has admitted before that he pushes my buttons for fun....
Oof. I think we all have a moment like that at some point. Hope you can patch things up and express your frustrations to him in a more measured way.
Aw man, been down this road with the parent of a loved one, my username matched the occasion. I ended up apologizing lol.
Not out of libness but because I was just straight up wrong on my interpretation of theory and what praxis would look like. My apology was not a correction but just like a "shouldn't have said you were part of the problem when I didn't know enough about what I was talking about, AND I was a dick about it."
My own parents tho?
