Given your level of justified vitrol, I’m surprised you’re associating with these people volunteerily at all. I’ve got family I’ll never talk to again because I don’t want to have any time to Nazis. Most of them are dead to me, so missing funerals won’t even be a thing.
This. Don’t let them talk, if they want to make themselves sheep then you need to shepherd them, at least long enough to get them thinking for themselves again
You can get most of them in tears with a few sentences pointing out their own failings in life as the primary reason they joined such a stupid political cult.
And it was really the second paragraph I wanted to post. You’re right, the first part could be fiction, but it feels quite real right now, which is why I liked it as well.
But the second part is undeniable. Challenge them anywhere and everywhere; on everything, on all their lies. Turn their world upsidedown, tear asunder their illusions, send the sanctuary of their ignorance crashing down around them.
Anyway, hard agree, no post to BestOf, best bullying wishes to you, may your references quickly spring to mind during your future arguments.
Had a family member talking about RFK Jr and how he (allegedly) wants to clean up school lunches the other day, so I immediately reminded them how they treated Michelle Obama like shit for attempting the same thing.
What a blind and selfish attitude.
Anyone wanting to clean up school lunches deserves support. Fuck your sports team mentality.
Just to be clear, your position is that your parents deserve to be bullied because they want healthier foods in schools? If RFK Jr does improve food in schools, will you apologize to them? You also do see a difference between the methods Michelle Obama used and those RFK Jr are using now, right?
You shouldnt take your anger out on your parents, IMO.
I’m the smug one? I get along just fine with my parents despite many differences. You’re the one acting like a petulant child when people don’t agree with you.
Yes, I don’t doubt you are doing whatever you think makes you a good person, I’m saying that I wouldnt choose to be the same person as you. Things have been bad for a long time, just because you or your group is suddenly one of the victims doesnt change anything. If you really think this is something new and special, then I have a bridge to sell you my friend.

That isn’t even bullying! That is just pointing out how fucking wrong and hypocritical they are about every little thing.

Hahaha, ok I won’t.

Your conservative relatives now give a shit about children’s health. Take the win.
Don’t try to score on them, putting your ego above a worthy cause.
(Whether or not RFK manages to do something useful is a different topic)

Exactly. Do you recognise that is exactly what you are doing with your “My team did this first” attitude? Be a little more self aware.
And I thought you were the one stalking me.

Well, unfortunately I see pettiness in your post, not bravery. But keep on fighting the good fight.

Oh fuck off with that shit. You’re a prick.

You know which group was great at labelling and ostracizing people? Maybe we are both Nazis, who’s to tell.
