Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Every time I talk to my dad, I argue a lot with him because he is pro-empire and even says fascist stuff.

Everything I don't like is done by the Russians or the Chinese, I am very smart and not a racist

I literally told him that he doesn’t like Chinese because he is racist and he said that is the reason and that he doesn’t deny it. The saddest thing is that he is black and Hispanic.

I understand if yer father's a gusano, but Afro-Hispanic... yeah... that's a bit wonky....

It's familiar; a lot of us come from backgrounds of bourgois indoctrination. If he likes literature may be introduce Frantz Fanon :)

If a person from Russia and person from the USA have a child and this child will spend till its 20s one year in freedomland and one year in putlerland, is this person then half evil and half good? Maybe that's a contradiction which is not allowed by physics and something bad happenes, like diving through zero.

Basically a half elf; half normal, half American.

Or a half-orc- half normal (Russian), half American (orc).

You may have already done this; to break down what one means by "we" / "us" / "american" that unless he is part of the bourgoisie (at which point one may want to invest time elsewhere to overthrow the dictatorship) that there are material differences between himself and those who dictate the policies of empire?

There's only so much one can do though if one is in the imperial core especially if one's father is reasonably well off. Unfortunately there are material benefits of the empire for the imperial core labour aristocrats and petite-bourgoise even if they are crumbs.

Finding common grounds or points of agreement is often the path to extrapolate towards reconciliation and exploration of meaningful enlightenment without capitulation.

Please make sure you are taking care of your mental health; this goes for all of us.

People still think he's American, don't they?
