I got drunk and high, he said some bullshit about how only capitalisms could innovate something and I just went fucking off. He’s good at verbally sparring and came back at me with some advanced* LIB questions and I truly lost it. He’s not a 1% but at least a 10% and I yelled at him for never producing anything and not understanding the real world. The pièce de résistance was telling him “you’re a good guy and it sucks if you get run over in the revolution but it’s worth it.”

He really is a good dude and I’m currently living here for free! He even picks up my beer sometimes! He’s really hurt and I feel bad.

*He has a good understanding of Nordic style socialism and very good knowledge of (the propaganda version) US history. So at least it wasn’t babies first economics.

    Aw man, been down this road with the parent of a loved one, my username matched the occasion. I ended up apologizing lol.

    Not out of libness but because I was just straight up wrong on my interpretation of theory and what praxis would look like. My apology was not a correction but just like a “shouldn’t have said you were part of the problem when I didn’t know enough about what I was talking about, AND I was a dick about it.”

    My own parents tho? big-honk

        Yeah, I didn’t tell the whole story but it was warranted. I never apologized for believing what I do, I was just straight up wrong about my interpretation of theory and praxis, and when I realized that later it felt appropriate.

        Other than that tho, man I just can’t help myself. When people speak or act disdainfully towards classes they perceived as “below” them, I just get so fucking angry about it and can’t let it go.
