I’m not a reliable source. I’ve been rage ranting about destroying capitalism since I was a teenager.
Brainworm dads and ignoring literally every correct word out of their adult child's mouth for having the audacity to fundamentally disagree with them even once when they were a little kid.
My dad just dismisses everything I say as "some crap from Reddit" or "sounds made up" as though I don't have a PhD, no matter how many times I've been able to remind him like a day later when he actually sees it on the news, or how many times I've actually been the expert interviewee on the news. Dude literally has books I've published and he will not acknowledge that I might be right about anything ever.
Having a degree, personal life experience with the stuff were arguing about, a track record of always being right (over the course of decades), and being completely sincere with no incentive to lie or be manipulative definitely doesn't make me more trustworthy than some rich shithead saying something completely implausible on the evening news.
Literally exactly, it should make us trustworthy, and yet boomer dads refuse to acknowledge that their child might know more about something than they do.
Well, thanks for the virtual commiseration. I know people who get frustrated with their boomer parents, but most don't have my specific communist brainworms, so we're a little shallow in how we relate.
