I'm tired of having an argument with a "leftist", they throw every bad faith liberal putdown at me, yet somehow they've gone to all the best schools and have traveled to 6 continents for fun in their life.

Are you a member of the bourgeoisie!?!?

One guy I know from uni is the largest shitlib in the world. Absolutely "if a guy won't vote for Hillary, he's sexist" kinda dude. Only I know that he's from one of the largest landlord families of his country.

My dad was a florist. He owned his business and took great care of his employees. One's mortgage he helped pay outside of her compensation for years. Another stole from him and cheated him a couple times before he fired him because he didn't want his family to suffer and knew the guy had just fallen off the wagon.

Of course he died when I was 12, because the world cannot be a just and fair place.

ETA: He was also a very liberal Pentecostal, which if anyone knows that church, that's a weird thing lol. He was also a Zionist, in that he loved the Jewish people and thought Israel was theirs by right. He studied the tribes and all that. He was a bit of an amateur bible scholar. Maybe I'm being hopeful, but I'm certain had he lived to see what I've seen, and been educated outside of the ultra conservative church he loved so much, he would have felt very differently. It would not have been within his character to uphold such atrocities.
