to pile on my *ahem* “progressive” dad while i’m at it,
we got in an argument once cause he couldn’t agree with me that it’s harder to make a living now then when he was my age
he was literally like pulling “bootstraps” without even realizing what he was saying..

it way easier to say your progressive than to actually follow through when push comes to shove, my mom loved to watch “i am jazz” but couldn’t stop calling me fucking “jimbo” or “bubba”

Some people just don’t have it in them to admit that they had/have it easier than others. They just NEED to believe that for some reason.
Seems like childish insecurity resulting in a deliberate blindness regarding empathy to me.
I made one attempt to explain to him the actual concepts and evidence regarding it, but he refused to listen.
like even he gets it…
he confuses me, WHY is he conservative, if it’s cause he hates democrats oh boy have i got a movement for him…
same wage….

Rent, gas, cable, telephone, electricity, water, waste management and food for four people. like dude….
A charlatan vectoralist class told them pretty lies and they didn't stop to question if it was too good to be true.
Like... I can't imagine not being able to feel empathy deeply. It's such a core part driving me.
