I went out to dinner the other night with a family friend, and he spent the entire dinner talking about some right wing conspiracies. I feel like my brain is rotting oml. Does anyone else have to sit through conversations like this?

    My family pretty much never brings up politics besides a milquetoast acknowledgement that some current event is happening.

    My friends rarely talk about things other than sportsball or what entertainment media they’re consooming, but when they do venture into politics it’s usually bad takes. I had one friend announce that he started learning about China from serpentza and he parroted the bullshit about mountains being painted green counting towards a reforestation program. I had another friend excitedly talk about how our city building (yet another) sportsball stadium would be great in part because it would displace homeless people. It’s worth mentioning that they’re all cishet labor aristocrackers who were brought up in and currently reside in the crackerburbs, so all things considered it could probably be worse.
