“But I never heard him say racist things to me and my family”
Bro is fighting daily to contain the slurs.
Must be containing them in his neck cus damn
I could never have the opposite politics of my spouse. Sure, we may disagree slightly on some matters an nuance, but a world view in direct conflict with mine would be irreconcilable.
When politics felt like shades of policy disagreements I could see it. Now it is either you support democracy and human rights or you’re supporting pedophiles and genocide. Not much common ground anymore.
The Overton window has been busy.
Is it a roadrunner? Is it a train? No it’s the Overton window going 120 in the slow lane.
A politically charged tv channel with specifically that goal running for three generations will do that.
My partner is just slightly less left than me and I struggle with it some days. I can’t even imagine trying to date someone on the other side.
Nobody can. Egomanic psycopathy isn’t attractive to anyone but the most indoctrinated birds
Sometimes I think about dating again after so long, and I imagine my girlfriend wanting to wiretap our place with an Alexa in the kitchen.
Seriously I don’t understand how some people can handle their best friend and roommate being a POS
- Fear of making near friends / difficulty making the new friends
- Actual naivety of thinking the POS behaviour doesn’t matter
- Weirdly, peer pressure from other people? For instance you might want to distance yourself from one friend and you are then peer pressured to be in situations with them more often by the other friends, told to build your tolerance of them
… 1 + 2 also applies to romantic relationships!
Edit: just realised ‘best friend AND roomate’ is just a way of referring to a spouse. But there it is, there’s the low-down in my opinion.
You bond over other shared interests, like video games and drinking.
As silly as bonding over race, especially when we disagree on basic morality, but that’s sadly what happens. 😔
I’m so glad my parents and brother have (nearly) the same politics as me. Having to regularly deal with trumpers (without being able to laugh in their faces as with my co-workers) would be a perpetual torment. My brother did have an inexplicable phase of loving Putin, but that passed quickly.
Same. I couldn’t respect someone with hardened, opposite politics to me. Sex would be satisfying though.
…would it??
You never had a good hate-fuck?
It doesn’t seem appealing tbh
It’s almost always that the girl is also a POS but knows she wouldn’t have friends if she lived her truth.
Almost, but sometimes also they are just in an abusive relationship and haven’t figured it out yet.
A lot of religious folks “don’t believe in divorce.” So even if the relationship isn’t abusive, they may be incompatible as a couple but just stick with it.
Yeah, I once talked with a woman who spent several decades being married to a guy who was physically and emotionally abusive to her, but made it clear that she would never leave him because she had promised to stay with him for live at her wedding, but it was okay because things would be better in heaven for her anyway, but not so good for him.
It made me really sad…
That’s my sister and husband.
your sister is your husband?
I think he means his sister reads salon and his husband is racist and also his husband and his sister are in a relationship too, it’s a classic polycule isotope.
they’re very close
Saaaame. Dude would 100% support loading me into a train to the camps in the right circumstances.
“He makes me feel safe”
“By making others feel unsafe”
The lady probably feels the same way, she just knows better than to be honest about it because she’s better socialised.
a third of hetero males in hetero relationships are the most racist man alive?
They made a lot of those T-Shirts, they were on sale at Walmart, 14 for $0.88
All those men also look exactly like that
That’s a band name
theres a band named “a third of hetero males in hetero relationships are the most racist man alive?”?
hyperbole
But it feels true
