Shit I just spent an hour yelling at my FIL for being bourgeoisie
Shit I just spent an hour yelling at my FIL for being bourgeoisie
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 glad i only get this way (drunk, talking shit) on hexbear
hopefully he forgives you
I’m sorry comrade but you are unfortunately in violation of proclamation #286 in the Belden program: “be normal”
Report to re-education immediately
Normal is a setting on a washing machine! :angst:
Let the Marketplace of Ideas Decide.
apologize lmaoI did as soon as I realized what I'd said.
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....
you're the opposite of
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?
I keep my mouth shut about this stuff specifically because I don't like apologizing over things I believe.
Yeah, I didn't tell the whole story but it was warranted. I never apologized for believing what I do, I was just straight up wrong about my interpretation of theory and praxis, and when I realized that later it felt appropriate.
Other than that tho, man I just can't help myself. When people speak or act disdainfully towards classes they perceived as "below" them, I just get so fucking angry about it and can't let it go.
