I was brainwashed to hate capitalism, America, and masculinity, raised by a cucked socialist dad who worships Che Guevarra, and an annoying, nagging feminist mom who have basically always drank the commie koolaid, and constantly were injecting it right into my veins. I went to a very liberal high school, and developed an interest in feminism as a way to (I thought) develop some kind of positive virtuous qualities within myself, and better connect with my female friends. I lived for several months with a couple of radical Marxist revolutionary BLM-loving U.S. flag burning psychopaths (who hated men and white people with a passion), and just out of morbid curiousity I decided to watch a Trump rally on youtube(with headphones and the door closed) to see Hitler 2.0 in the flesh and see what awful racism, sexism, etc he might be peddling.
I was intrigued by Trump's genuine, "old-school" masculinity, probably because I never had a proper male role model growing up. I then started checking out various conservative youtubers like Sargon of Akkad, and investigating the whole Q thing, and got redpilled pretty rapidly, helped along at first by my hearing about the craziness of the feminist civil war against the "TERF"s who proclaimed that women have vaginas (how dare they, right?) The final step was watching the youtube vid of Yuri Bezmenov spelling out how commies subvert democracy, and religious faith protects the mind from brainwashing, protects society from tyranny essentially.
I'm voting for AMERICA which obviously means TRUMP, then I'm gonna buy a bible, find the most conservative church in my town and try and meet some decent folks there who want to MAGA with me and the Lord.
I'm sure it says "respect your elders" somewhere in the bible. Glad you're on our team, eat soap for calling your parents that.
good point, but then again, what the heck DO I call them? What would you call them? Man, I'd love to respect some elders, but it's difficult if they don't respect America
A Rabbi I listened to said the commandment of "honor your father and your mother" is THE hardest commandment of all 613 to observe.
In fact, Esau, Jacob's rival for the blessing of Isaac, his old brother, was a brute of a man. Cruel, selfish, greedy, mean, married two women his mother hated. But Esau was very good at one commandment -- honoring his father. He loved Isaac. And when Jacob was about to face his brother Esau again after his 20 year stay with Laban he was sending gifts and making all kinds of contingency plans -- because he was afraid Esau's merit of honoring their father would outweigh all the good things Jacob did in his entire life.
The way to do it is to not argue directly, not disrespect them directly. Example... you're with your father. Someone asks for directions. Your father starts giving the wrong directions. You don't say: "Dad, you're wrong, they take a right on Main, not a left." You say to the person: "What my father means to say is to take a right on Main...."
I disagree with my parents vehemently on politics. So... find the stuff you agree on and stick to that. Movies, sports, that skiing vacation... something.
I've failed sometimes too.
Yeah, makes sense. It doesn't feel right arguing with my dad even if he is wrong. He may be too old to change anyway.
