Mine hit me with the “We’re spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.”

    I was eating dinner with my dad a year ago when he told me about how he believes jews secretly run the world and that there’s something fishy about the Rothschilds. I burst out laughing thinking my dad had suddenly developed a very modern online sense of humor, but unfortunately no.

    I’ve never known my dad to be antisemitic, and he even explained that regular jews are a different group from the ones in control.

    I straight up told him it’s ridiculous and that he needs to get off the internet, but he never agreed with me. I still don’t know how to handle the situation really.

    Oh and my mom went borderline sovereign citizen a few years ago, but I don’t remember what insane thing she said first.

      Which is especially crazy when I imagine I’m not the only one who was constantly told my personally developed views were influenced purely from “listening to all those liberals on the internet.”

      Confirmation bias is a helluva drug, pops. :(
