Some habits I noticed while talking with older relatives (lemmygrad.ml)

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?

I feel like lots of liberals I know think a majority of homeless people are drug addled hopeless causes. They don’t hate them, but don’t think they can be helped. Won’t think of rent hikes as the larger cause, or the reality not a huge percent of people between homes are on drugs

Meanwhile, most of the liberals I know are hooked on oxys, vicodin, tramadol, xanax, and everything else you need a crooked GP to over-prescribe for you.

Oh yeah, I know plenty of people abusing adderall, mdma, coke or what not, then turn around and judge some others for having the bad luck to get addicted to the wrong drug
