I’m tired of having an argument with a “leftist”, they throw every bad faith liberal putdown at me, yet somehow they’ve gone to all the best schools and have traveled to 6 continents for fun in their life.
Are you a member of the bourgeoisie!?!?
One guy I know from uni is the largest shitlib in the world. Absolutely “if a guy won’t vote for Hillary, he’s sexist” kinda dude. Only I know that he’s from one of the largest landlord families of his country.
As someone whose dad doesn’t work I don’t want this to be normalized actually. People would just judge you for coming from a poor family rather than the other way around.
Agreed! One professor literally switched from praising me (oh your dad must have been an educated man!) to pity, after I told him that my father repairs industrial machinery as a profession.
Lmao what a shitty professor. It’s not like they’re making millions lmao
Also agree with not normalizing this, but there are more of us than them. I grew up in a pretty rural part of the US, and we’d talk far more shit on the kids who showed up in BMWs their families bought them than the kids who showed up in secondhand shoes. My dad might have been underemployed (postal carrier, etc for years), but he’s forgotten more about machining and mechanics than most professors know, and now he spends his time fixing neighbors machines in exchange for $ for parts, and bartered goods for labor.
Defs a better (but not perfect) ideal than someone’s father who’s day trader 🤮
Somewhat related:
The other day I was at a party and the only other guy who was a leftist was, like me, from a bourgeois family. At one point we argued with an AfD (German far-right party) voter who was a car mechanic.
We were like “Look my guy here is gonna inherit >2M€ worth of property just for being a failson and no matter how hard you work your actually productive job, neither you or your children will ever get the same financial security, don’t you think this is unfair?” and the chud was like “No, actually this is fair and good.”
What do you even say to these people?
you tell them what good dogs they are and dismiss them. talking further is pointless
Tell them that as an inferior, they should grovel at the feet of their superior and obey their superior who says that communism is based.
Me in a few years: “No please, that video where I tell him to grovel at my feet is out of context, I was trying to make a point, I didn’t mean it like that!”
: “Yeah right, face the wall, bougie scum.”
Trump is my dad
Im Barron Trump
My dad’s retired, but he was a cop for like 45 years and I hate cops. He wasn’t like a low level uniformed beat cop, but a state trooper detective type who had a regional administrative role. By the way I really hate cops. He was also present at the Waco siege in 1993. To his credit he was on the side of not letting the ATF use tanks.
I fucking hate cops.
my dad bounced from shit job to shit job. he got my mom to pay his tuition (cheap in those days)/living expenses so he could get a BA. she had to do all his paperwork to graduate, because he was and still is a big critic of higher education… i.e. he’s too lazy to do anything, and likes to justify it philosophically. after graduating, every once in a while he would stumble into a high paying job, because white boomer man, but he would be himself (absenteeism, disagreeable, shirking all responsibility) and after many warnings would be fired. he would frequently blow off work to bang randos too. at this point i believe he’s 3x divorced for being the same guy his whole life. when he isn’t married, he’s mooching off people and living in their guest rooms/guest houses, taking handouts, etc. that was his excuse for never paying child support.
we are now coming to the punchline:
the longest job he ever had was like 5 years. he taught history at a crazy right wing evangelical “academy” for supplemental education of reactionary homeschooling families. i am almost certain it was a chartered school that received public money too. he’s a massive talk radio chud and outspoken about a RETVRN to “family values” and thinks the unemployed are just lazy and should be cut off from assistance programs. he refuses to acknowledge any disconnect between the choices he has always made, the life he lives and his supposed value system. he can only ever be the blameless victim.
the only thing i really ever got out of that relationship is being able to recognize toxic bullshitters ahead of the curve.
What’s your name? (What’s your name?)
Who’s your daddy? (Who’s your daddy?)
(He rich?) Is he rich like me?Dad was a chef and guitar player who inherited a buttload of money from his rich family of doctors and celebrities around the time the pandemic began. We had everything we needed but never took a real vacation until I was, like, 19. Today he’s leaving to sail around the Greek islands with his buddies. He is a liberal, as is basically my entire family.
Depends on the context
You’ll know when you meet someone if you need to ask this
who is your daddy and what does he do?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
bourgeois people with stay at home dads and CEO moms are gonna throw you for a loop.
and if its any kind of no dad situation I suppose they might just let you know.My dad was a florist. He owned his business and took great care of his employees. One’s mortgage he helped pay outside of her compensation for years. Another stole from him and cheated him a couple times before he fired him because he didn’t want his family to suffer and knew the guy had just fallen off the wagon.
Of course he died when I was 12, because the world cannot be a just and fair place.
ETA: He was also a very liberal Pentecostal, which if anyone knows that church, that’s a weird thing lol. He was also a Zionist, in that he loved the Jewish people and thought Israel was theirs by right. He studied the tribes and all that. He was a bit of an amateur bible scholar. Maybe I’m being hopeful, but I’m certain had he lived to see what I’ve seen, and been educated outside of the ultra conservative church he loved so much, he would have felt very differently. It would not have been within his character to uphold such atrocities.
My dad retired from working on the roads for county public services. In the winter he would drive a salt truck that deiced the roads when it snowed.
Of course now he’s a huge MAGA chud.
