I disagree about religion. It should be subordinated to the government. That should stop them from promoting reactionary rethoric.
(Assuming the government is half decent in the first place. Otherwise there's not much difference.)
That's really fucked up.
Idk what to do. Dare them to eat a battery I suppose.
Edit : Maybe try to record the parents or grandparent. Worst case scenario, they won't be able to blame it on anyone but themselves and you'll have legal proof.
You should call the police or something like that at this point. At this rate it's only a matter of time before something incredibly dangerous happens to the kid. I understand that you might want to avoid conflict or go easy on your father, but this may very well be a matter of life or death. I don't know about the Law in your country, but in most you father could be severely punished for that kind of neglect.
Try looking for someone else to babysit the kid at least.
Sure. I'm already beta-reader for a web novel, and have written a few myself. (Appeal to authority or smth) Just DM me a link or something like that, and I'll take a look at it.
I mean I guess that depends on the medium. The creator's political positions are generally less present in drawings for example.
Though as a rabid book enjoyer, I must admit that I abandoned quite a few due to their political undertones. A nice example would be World War Z, which despite being well written (at the beginning at least) contains so much american propaganda that I sometimes got the feeling that the author had a checklist. As far as I remember, every enemy of the US is bastardized, except maybe Iran. And of course there's bootlicking for Israel and the US.
But even then, guessing that the author is a reactionary doesn't necessarily make their work unreadable, it depends on how much they let their thoughts transpire into their works.
Pyrrhus, king of Epirus :
"While he was fighting an Argive soldier, the soldier's old mother, who was watching from a rooftop, threw a tile which knocked him from his horse and broke part of his spine, paralyzing him. Whether he was alive or not after the blow is unknown, but his death was assured when a Macedonian soldier named Zopyrus, though frightened by the look on the face of the unconscious king, hesitantly and ineptly beheaded his motionless body."
Looks like america is losing the Mandate of Heaven.
