men in particular say this all the time, too
"i would kill for my wife" would you do the dishes for your wife? the laundry?
it’s easy to talk about sacrifices you’re never going to have to do, especially when they make you sound so badass
but actually doing stuff to improve people’s lives around you is much harder than just talking
Absolutely, I think humans want the honor of spectacle and not the labor of the mundane
This sounds like someone who doesn’t have an actual kid who’s got friends he doesn’t want to lose by moving to a far away place that may still be at risk of a right wing decline by the time we get there too.
My parents tell me they love me unconditionally, but only if I fit their expectations, which I do not.
The only thing that will ever love unconditionally is a dog.
Mine said that a lot but it turns out one never cared at all which I kinda knew and the other decided I was not the kid they wanted and so deserved to die on the street that's the one who I think died on the street a couple months ago so that's equal parts amusing and sad
I'm with you on that one. I'm still grappling with attempting to be their good son but also trying to accept myself for who I am right now.
Good luck, my Fedifriend. Take things one step at a time. You aren't alone.
There is this saying that is misinterpreted.
blood runs thicker than water
People saying this mean to say that family bonds are more important than friendships.
But it's incomplete. The full expression:
blood runs thicker than water from the womb
Meaning blood bonds, friendships, are stronger than family connections, the water from the womb.
I have a brother who votes for a conspiracy right wing party. My mother keeps spreading racist slurs and follows right wing populists and media. My father is more like me, but is afraid to get into conflict so he always takes my mother's side.
I told them, after countless chances, I'm done with them. I broke off all contact, with a long explanation without convictions, attacks, blaming or what so ever. Just explaining I feel hurt by how I feel treated and I feel helpless as any form of conversation ends in full scale attacks onto me, blaming me for everything, calling me a child in its puberty (I'm 39) who never takes responsibility (while I always take full responsibility for my actions, while they have never done so).
I'm happy with my group of honest and deep friendships. I don't need my family. They wrote me out of their will. I don't care. I don't need anything from them anymore. I'm surrounded by amazing and loving people, while they are going to die sad and alone.
The version of the expression I've heard is
The blood of the covenant runs thicker than the water of the womb
As not one of "the golden children" sometimes it's best to just focus on your (or you own families) happiness.
It's the same people who love Trump if he were to shoot some one on Fifth Avenue.
But would hate him if he gave people the COVID vaccine on Fifth Avenue
Nah they would flip around and justify the second scenario in their heads. Just like they are defending him for high gas prices after blaming biden for high gas prices.
Well killing is fine especially if its someone who doesn't look like me but borders are actually important
They just like the thought of killing
In the US it's not that dramatic of a statement. We would kill for a better parking spot.
Yes that's basically what I said. The society is based on sociopathic and psychopathic thinking.
i think a lot of these people would love to kill, for whatever reason, even for their children, who they otherwise treat as possessions.
Away with thee walldoms 🌬
