My parents aren’t actually terrible people or anything, but I noticed some funny habits whenever I tell them about something I’ve been studying. One illustrative example was when I was telling one of them about COINTELPRO and the assassination (and character assassination) of multiple Black Panther Party leaders, they went like “oh I think there’s a movie about that”. This happens very often whenever I talk about some interesting historical event.
We are not even US-ian, but it feels like things have only happened to lots of people if Holywood made a movie about it. It is probably weirder for me because I don’t really watch any movies or TV.
Feels like “sure it is very interesting that some important historical event happened and led us to this current point in time, but did it get an Oscar?”
What are some weird capitalismpilled habits of not-horrible people you know that you have noticed?
Exactly. Most people don’t realize you are infinitely closer to being the homeless person than the billionaire exploiting them. A few bad events and suddenly the street is your best option. A few good events and maybe you can buy a house instead of rent
