Anyone becoming increasingly estranged from your parents as they get ruined by the fascism portal known as the internet?

My dad's always been an anti-intellectual prick but now he's a smug one having his worst impulses reinforced by assholes on the internet and his workplace.

  • Yeah my parents are cooked when it comes to their political views. They got extremely conservative when I got older and right now it got to a point where my mum started to doubt vacinnes' efficency. My parents also believe in a fuckton of conspiracy theories, think that liberals in my country are "communists" and are generally racist and prejudiced in every way imaginable.

    The only good think I can think of when it comes to their political views is that they oppose Israel, but they don't oppose Israel because they feel bad for Palestine and are actually anti-imperialist. They just oppose zionists because they don't like jews

      hear that. Several years ago I was talking about the history of Palestine with my dad and it was so obvious to me that he only became receptive to the idea that Palestinians have a right to not undergo genocide when I explained that there's a significant Palestinian Christian minority. And I've had like 4 arguments with him over how Jews as a whole have nothing to do with Israel. The antisemitic conspiracy theory mind is immune to evidence and any kind of nuance is what I've sadly found.

      • When I talked to my dad about Palestine he just said that "arabs and jews are natural enemies" and "they will always fight". When I watched a play on TV about polish antisemitic campaign in 1968 they got annoyed and said the jews "deserved it" (literally). Unfortunately I don't see a way to change my parents' views on things like that

        • my dad likes palestine because he hates jewish people and called them "thieves and the most irredeemable people imaginable"

          and then praised hitler for all the gassing and shit. he once told me as a kid that he would've televised the chemical euthanasia of ethnic minorities if he was a president or a leader or whatever the fuck. help

          • I am very sorry for your dad. My parents praised Uganda's and Russia's policies towards LGBT people, so I kinda relate

            • my parents really hate the lgbtq+ like any "good" christian family. they really love shit against them, and the news goes all in on just showing crossdressers and laughing at them because "LOOK THIS IS A MAN AND THINKS IS WOMAN !!! LAUGH NOW WE ARE OF CULUTRE AND TRADITION THEY ARE SCUM KILL THEM ALL". it disgusts me and i am powerless against this shit because anything i say will be discarded

              i can't do shit in general, anything i say in the left side kind of works but not really.

              my parents say they loved the time when they lived in communism but somehow their memories are covered in iron guard propaganda. shit like "communism would kill gay people so i love it" and "death to romani people" are their favorites. one time my dad kept telling me about "HEY KID, STALIN SAID "IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO DO THE VOTE AND NUMBER OF IT, BUT WHO COUNT THE VOTE" !! LOOK, WIKIPEDIA SAYS IT'S TRUE" and i kept saying "no he never fucking said that" and then he asked "then WHO ??? ha"

              my only form of escape from them are the university which consists of liberals and so many far right folk that love calin georgescu and donald trump. that being said, i have no way to escape. i will just die mentally, my brain will genuinely disintegrate into fine powder

              • Lots of things you described are similar in my country, my parents at least have a bit of decency and don't talk about their politics all the time. I'm still very sorry for your situation and I hope it will get better

                One question, do Romanians actually recognize their own participation in the holocaust?

                • thank you for the hug, wish i can :meow-hug: back

                  funnily enough, i only knew ONE person who knew... and only used that info for shock value because that person was an edgelord and shit

                  my dad for instance said "no we didn't gas we used trains lol silly, they were right you know, don't believe in the lies by soros" so far righters believe romania did it but because "da jooz are irredeemable and steal and make a shit ton of money" and because "the [ROMANI SLUR]s steal and have big castle house and steal and make dogshit music and manipulate the government to give them money while they have big castle house and are welfare queens kill dem al !! !!!"

                  if only stalin didn't stop at berlin
