You didn't ask? That's amazing, are you a dictator? A god? The most important person in the world? No? Then why would you say that like it matters? "I come out as a homosexual, this is really hard for me and I hope you respect that." "Did I ask?" no, you did not ask, we couldn't care less if you asked, you are nothing compared to the universe. Do you think your opinion holds a higher meaning than anyone else's? You could've said anything, something creative, even an ok or you not saying a word would be better than the phrase "Did I ask?" we get it, you never asked, but did anyone ask about you asking? Even if you said that you traveled the world to find out who asked, who asked you to do that? You didn't ask for their opinion, but nobody asked if you care at all. You aren't creative or smart. Even a caveman grunts and ooga boogas would be better than that phrase. Now stop pretending to be a god and go back to school to learn how to respect people
Iβve been radicalizing my family members and my girlfriend for months now, but yesterday my mom wanted to talk about some political videos she had been watching. Weβd talked about Ben Shapiro before and I had explained how heβs a grifter, so she sought his videos out and apparently found him far more convincing than I have been. Whereas before she was all on board with everything I had explained to her, about workers rights, American labor history, the contradictions of capitalism, etc., the few Ben Shapiro videos she watched were apparently enough to plant that conservative tick in her. She wanted to argue yesterday about how there shouldnβt be minimum wage laws because Ben Shapiro made what she though were good arguments, saying it wasnβt okay to force employers to pay a certain amount and that a job making $5/hr is better than no job at all.
I was taken aback and tried explaining to her why Ben Shapiro and others like him are a bad influence again, and in the middle of my talking both she and my girlfriend got on YouTube and my mother began watching another Shapiro clip while my girlfriend went and watched a Liberty Hangout video (since I had brought that channel up too and my girlfriend watches it sometimes, βbecause itβs entertaining and she doesnβt actually listen to Katelynβs opinions,β which is obviously not true because you when you expose yourself to the brainwash itβs very difficult to fight it, especially when you donβt know itβs there and are politically illiterate).
I just feel so defeated. If I canβt even get my own family members to care and understand, how am I supposed to get anyone else to? Iβm not as effective a rhetorician as Ben Shapiro and apparently my loved ones really are the βadvertising doesnβt work on meβ types. My mother is obviously going to get further radicalized now because YT is gonna put more rightist videos in her recommended, and since these people uphold the establishment values she grew up with she finds them more convincing than my showing and explaining all the secrets and bad things about the US and capitalism. Itβs so disheartening and depressing and I just donβt know how to combat the brainwash anymore
