That's the post. Interacting with this person boils my blood and her comments about Gaza take years off my life.
The holidays are so fraught for me bc they always bring me into contact with people like this. If it wasn't for other family around that I actually like I would just cut this whole thing short now.
Hope y'all have better parents than mine
I managed to convince mine to vote for the communist party in the last election. So yeah, I don’t envy you.
that's cool as fuck I wish this was what my family conversations were about
My father in law has zionist brainworms despite being a Catholic antisemite who only watches local news. I think he must have conservative coworkers or something because he comes out with crazy Fox newsy takes sometimes and seems surprised we don't agree with them.
Luckily we only have to spend 4 hours with him and he usually is drunk and takes a nap.
Yeah sounds familiar. Some of the talking points that come out I'm like, where did you get this from? It's wild to me how faithfully people will parrot a talking point from somewhere else without doing any investigation at all. I ask her why she thinks is so vehemently hated by its neighbor countries and she's like, "um, I dunno."
My dad is like this except he's not a fundamentalist. He just genuinely believes that Israel is not a settler state and is legitimately defending itself from an existential threat.
Hope y'all have better parents than mine
I do not.
solidarity, comrade.
