People whose parents have become fascist, how are you dealing with it?

Reply in thread

Man, I feel you buddy. I really feel for you. My parents are middle of the road Democrats. They think they’re leftists but in reality they’re just Mitt Romney Bill Clinton types. and although they are not fascists, they are certain that positive change is just around the corner, none of this is too bad, the pendulum will swing back fully in the other direction in just a couple of years, just you wait.

They don’t seem to recognize that the pendulum has been dismantled and that the people in charge don’t give a shit on both sides. they get viscerally, angry, and upset when I try to point out to them that best case scenario America will take a generation to fix. And it’ll only get fixed if it’s filled with decent people, governed by decent people. And we all know that is not the case. So in reality, America will probably not get fixed in my lifetime. Maybe in my kids lifetime. My parents cannot understand that concept they think the good times are just around the corner.

I keep them at arms length I let them engage with my children and beyond that, it’s how’s the weather.

But I’ve also decided that because I don’t feel America can be fixed In a timeline, I find a reasonable as a relates to the raising of my children. I am leaving America.

i’ve already begun the process and my family and I will be moving near other family in a different country. Maybe my children will come back to these shores but aside from a few funerals I don’t think I’ll be back here.

good luck, buddy. We all need it.

Zoom’s CEO agrees with Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, and Jamie Dimon: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI

yeah, that’s such fucking bullshit. Why the hell would they ever fucking do that when they can just hire one person and work them 10 times as hard for five days a week and leave the rest of us unemployed. It makes zero economic sense. AI is not here to solvethe world‘s problems. It’s here to solve the wage problems and it is well on its way.

thank you, that means a lot. But don’t give up hope. There’s lots of nations in Western Europe that have programs that allow for immigration and permanent residency. There’s also programs to immigrate to Canada, depending on what type of work you’re in. And if all else fails, There’s good lives to be lived in South America and Central America. You’re not trapped. It may take you five or 10 years, but you can do it. Don’t let the empire crush you in its gears.

if I was in charge, if you wanted a family and you couldn’t have it on your own, you’d have to adopt. I know it’s not the solution for everyone, but the inequality that IVF and surrogacy create along with the huge drain on resources both scientific and monetary. I think society would be better off if we got to the root causes of infertility issuesand tried to address them (whether they be environmental or genetic), but the baby making in industry needs to stop.

IVF and surrogacy should be illegal. they are a huge drain on resources, typically only benefit the wealthy. And the solution is incredibly straightforward. Strong social safety net, strong parental benefits andleave options. Encourage family to start in their 20s early 30s latest.

I like the article, but it seemed like the point of the article was basically like,

"yo fascists, ease up off the neck of your wage slavers so that they can wage slave harder without feeling distress." additionally,"if you grind them so hard, that’s ultimately inefficient for your capitalistic needs."

so I don’t know.... sounds like a real good tip for Henry Ford
