Sometimes we argue about politics. He's kind of a union lib who's therefore eoc dem by default but he's got this thing where he's more mad at Trump than any other political cause Trump has been a known laughing stock for about 40 years. Also wee Canadian so we don't vote in most American elections. Should I cut off all tied with my family cause my dad is a lib? (The rest of my family are Shining Path, so they're cool)

You will first need to write a pamphlet denouncing his revisionism and distribute it among the masses (neighbors and other family members).

I'll just make a post here instead

Incredible bit, is your second cousin a fascist?

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 25 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah but she doesn't like to talk politics.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 24 points 4 weeks ago

Jealous. My dad doesn't like Kamala because she isn't racist enough.

Not only should you cut off all family ties, you should cut out all ties with anyone. Except Hexbear. You have us, what are those other people even for? We'll be your friends, we'll be your family. When one of us succeeds all of us prosper. And when one of us suffers a setback all of us weather the blow.

All we ask in return, and it's really no big deal, is that you tithe 10% of your annual income to Hexbear and also be prepared to die or kill for us if we ask that of you. No big thing. We can even hook you up with an s/o from within the community. Do you like chatbots? The government can't tell you to not marry a chatbot.

Name a political stance of one of your family, regarding Peru, if not Chairman Guzman, then

Hey there fellow Canadian. I say yes. I had to cut off ties with my dad for supporting the Communist party of Canada instead of the Communist party of Canada (Marxist Leninist). Can't deal with a revisionist, it's too toxic.

Throw his large adult baby into some boiling bathwater to show him the error of his ways then call everyone who disagrees with you revisionist Soviet imperialists that do not see the light of the shining path

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 4 weeks ago

Does it have to be bathwater? Cause needing to fill a tub, take a bath, find a way to boil all that water seems hard.

New site tagline

My dad is a communist sympathizer who supports China ,Cuba ,the DPRK ,and Burkina Faso

We are not the same 😎

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but only because they're from KKKlanada.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 4 weeks ago

I am, they might not be

[–] vertexarray@hexbear.net 11 points 4 weeks ago

You need to try introducing them to theory in an innocuous and emotionally unchallenging way. Try playing Immortal Technique on your phone speaker

Way ahead of you, my dad is a post-maoist

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

You should cut off all neckties

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 4 weeks ago

My dad used to be a centrist. He still is, but less so. He's coming around and he's got his heart in a right place.

I say cut him off, who wants to waste their time talking to centrists and socdem?
