There was a WW2 bomber flyover today 'to honour the veterans' and my immediate reaction was 'if I had fought in WW2 I wouldn't want to be reminded of that shit' which rapidly turned into both of them attacking me for not respecting veterans. They both would say they're socialists.
Absolutely. I'm not sure I handled it as best as I could. Oddly enough, I think this was the first time I experienced the 'fight' side of 'fight of flight' reaction- I didn't acquiesce just because they expected me to and it ended the conversation pretty quickly.
They could respect the WW2 vets even more by giving them healthcare and not tolerating fascists.
I'm in Canada so they have some healthcare, but boy they are big on tolerating fascists. My closing argument was 'start killing Nazis again and I'll support the troops again'
