Aw, your Dad loves you!
you should bully him for being an idealist
“Sure dad, I’ll ‘envision’ in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first”
Oprah and Doctor Phil and their consequences…
I still vaguely remember back in the day when Oprah platformed “the Secret” and brought all this “manifesting” drek in to public view. Oprah has used her massive viewrship to cause incomprehensible damage over the years.
Her story really would be fascisating from a Marxist perspective. The way her platform gave her such an enormous soap box from which to steer and influence culture, and the ways that she and the systems that supported her show chose to use that soap box.
Ask him if he thinks that would work for Palestinians in Gaza
Or just tell him to refer to this emoji as a rubric for when idealism works vs doesn’t
Honestly it’s within the range of well intentionedness that I can hear saying this while he fails to solve a children’s puzzle.
It deeply bothers me how someone will make a joke about how it’s an easy puzzle and he’ll respond by calling them failures in life and then, if he gets called out on it, say “He came at me, I was just better at insulting than he was”.
That and who the hell should be taking life advice from a dweeb who gets paid for just playing video games badly while spouting the most banal shit imaginable? He’s basically an asmr channel but sometimes explicitly reactionary, and his position in the economy is a defect in society.
He has good intentions you shouldn’t get mad at him.
