Is your elderly father an honest person in his ignorance or a bad faith shill like socks?
Is your father exposed to anything but corporate media?
Is your dad even willing to look at counter-narratives?
Does he hang out on SaidIt?

Your father and socks are NOT equivalent.

They're both smart people who get shitty news they believe in.

My point is that socks is actually exposed to MUCH more than just shitty news. socks has no excuses left.

Whether socks is a paid shill or not, he's clearly here with intent to troll. Why else would anyone linger on a place full of shit they don't believe in?

You not seeing this and defending him is more than a sad commentary on your powers of perception.

And socks is only sometimes smart.

Who here is going to argue the oppositional position besides him? It's a useful role.

You should use your stunning powers of perception to get off welfare.

Lets not be rude to each other.

LOL.

I wasn't being rude to you, or your father, so stick that up your ass.

Scraping by on welfare, limited by money but otherwise 1000% free, after the corrupt system and Big Pharma stole EVERYTHING from me in order to spend most of my waking hours analyzing and resisting is how I CHOOSE to exist. Consider me a monk of the resistance.

I will get back on my feet financially, independently, on my own terms, and with the skills I mastered when younger. Running on fumes, that requires long term plans, solid foundations, patience, and support from my communities. I'm also putting in a lot of charity time now, so that when I need it I can expect a little back, in different forms.

What do you do for your communities?

She's not a social butterfly like me but I think we came over at the same time.

I didn't mean to start shit, I just meant you make bad decisions and my ideas are better.

What do you do for your communities?

We just sold my wife's old car for a song to this nice dude who's going to fix it up for his single mom sister.

Well, at least that sounds nice and plausible.

Omg, you're going to drag this into another day. I just figured I'd take one for the team, I don't like moderating. It's like herding cats, nobody listens, everyone gets mad when god forbid the incredibly lax rules actually get enforced. And they also get mad when nothing happens.
