Translation:
Father: THE TIME COMES WHEN EVERY FATHER AND CHILD MUST HAVE AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION. ARE YOU READY?
Son: Yes, FATHER.
Father: THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF HUMANITY IS A HISTORY OF CLASS STRUGGLE. PATRICIANS AND PLEBEYS, FREEMEN AND SLAVES, OPPRESSORS AND OPPRESSED FACE TO FACE…
Does anyone have advice for uncles and aunts? My brother’s got a kid and my brother’s an annoying libshit with lots of chauvinism and sinister racism he just doesn’t recognise. Right now he’s talking about Sweden having gone to hell because of them immigrants, isn’t that done decade old horseshit?
Edited a pronoun for clarity.
If the parents are as reactionary as him its prob better left alone.
I had a faulty wording that I think gave you the wrong idea, sorry. My brother’s a techbro and nephew’s too young to have any politics yet, but we live in different countries, get to see each other a few times a year. I’m thinking about how I can use that time well, so that he ends up better than his parents.
My sister-in-law is at least not a techbro, but she’s got a petit bourgeois background and occasionally has “what about the employers” thoughts when political discussions take place. They’re both xenophobic as hell, despite both being immigrants too.
i havent been in that situation yet, but i will be soon, i think the best apporach is to be nice to the kid, treat him as a person ask about his interests, drop some hints here and there. If his dad is how other techbros i know, his kid is going to grow up hating him and likely distancing away from his politics.
