I don't know your parents, but my general sense is you can't argue with parents, especially if you still live with them. Not cuz you shouldn't; it just doesn't work. Capitalist realism already has people convinced that questioning the existing order is evidence of an immature mind, and that serious people know that this really is the best of all possible worlds. You're not going to overcome that ideological programming in the people who changed your diaper when you were a little poopy baby.
yeah exactly. my parents are libs so if you can demonstrate you know your stuff but still be nice to them it's not too hard to get them to soften on some stuff. they can be pretty vulnerable to china stuff though if i don't help beat that back
yeah but who actually gives a shit about china? they haven't been on the right side for decades. you could maybe argue they're a necessary counterweight to the american empire. that's the one virtue i can ascribe to that government.

i don't necessarily want them to be on china's side or whatever; i want them to be safe from takes like china intentionally starting covid
INTENTIONALLY? i don't even have coherent words.
