3389: ¡Ay, caramba! w/ Dana Gould

[Blitzgal]

My step-father was laid off from his job several years ago and since then has only sporadically been able to find solid work. Since then, he's had a ton of time to discover the ugly side of YouTube. And because my mother is done listening to him, whenever I'm over there he unleashes all of this shit on me, because he knows I'm a progressive feminist. I will never forget three years ago, where he announces that most women lie about rape. We are literally sitting down eating Christmas dinner. And he tries quoting dipshit Jordan Peterson at me. Neither one of them know I was molested by a daycare provider. I almost threw it in his face. But that was finally the moment where I said to myself, "I'm done." I will not discuss any bullshit with him anymore. I just shut down every one of those conversations and refuse to engage. He's not a Trumper, he fancies himself a "libertarian," but fuck those guys too.

Since the pandemic I've been able to limit my interactions and mostly video chat with my mother.

I may be a dick for saying this but I feel it's more of a confession...

I didn't notice the upside-down !

Sorry, I feel like shit now.

Oh no. I forgot to talk shit about him being on the phone because I enjoyed the episode so much.

My father is an interesting case.
He is a smart person, but on his own he reads strange suspicious content in the way of: the government wants to steal our money and ... add some strange theory here. He wants somehow to see himself and other middle class people as some kind of victim of the system, now with Covid (but he is very good with social distancing and wearing a mask at least) same with the refugees a few years ago. The funny thing is he was absolutely the same when we lived in Poland. He always said Poland was terrible and Germany the best. Now that we live in Germany he does the same here even if his life is much, much better.

When we talk to him, Mr Apia and I he is capable to see the facts and logic and comes back from his trip. It’s important to take care of your elders and not loose them to the media! ( this is supposed to be a funny comment. Like kid, don’t watch TV all day, it will break your brain. Some elders are hopeless cases and it’s not your responsibility here to try to bring them back from insanity)
What is this disease?

THIS (where is the up arrow dammit.)

I think most of the problem is the victim mentality, they want to feel like there is a force outside of there control, when really you just need to control how you react to things and your behaviour with authority.
