This is a post for Lemmygrad members to talk about things liberals are doing/saying. Let’s vent about liberal bullshit together.

    I have a former HS teacher who I consider a tangential friend. We talk still very occasionally. He was my mentor in high school and helped me thru some very rough times.

    He’s also an unironic philosopher-king promoting, classical theology, self-proclaimed practitioner of Stoicism dork ass dork. It was bearable in HS and a little after, but he couldn’t help himself from commenting some contrarian bullshit on every FB post I ever made, like the “Israel Palestine conflict” being “very complicated” and other such drivel. My sibling plays video games with him and I hear thru them the silly ass ideas he’s still peddling, Rachel Maddow listening, “we stopped a tyrant today, November 8”, “NATO used to be bad but now defends freedom against Trumputin” looking ass. I’m not on social media barring lemmygrad anymore so I don’t deal with his ideas often, but it was really defeating that someone I looked up to as a teen had such shit ideas.

        Yeah, it’s difficult to tell precisely how much he means it but he’s a millenial so he’s slightly less irony poisoned than most gen Zers. I don’t think he’s going to form any kind of political organization promoting monarchism, but I think he unironically believes that a philosopher king under a one world government is the next stage for humanity.
