Some people just reach a point in life where their brains are just incapable of learning empathy. I would just cut ties if you can. Lile what happens when they wanna watch fox news and then it doesn’t work? They’ll just bother you again saying “the computer is broken”.
Long story about my family (its gonna bore you to death)
My entire family (aside from my brother) is just sitting in the living room warching content spoonfed by WeChat, about China’s military strength, something about “using military” to “resolve” the Taiwan issue, and since we are in the United States, there are also some anti-Democrat rhetoric, something like “NYC Dems RUINS city, by inviting DANGEROUS MIGRANTS” (but written in Chinese of course). Oh did I mention my family are immigrants? None of us are born here. My dad and grandmother who lives with us are still a non-citizens. and I heard my dad several times complaining about the “illegals” “taking away resources from society”. Blocking WeChat isn’t gonna work since the main reason they use their phone is to access WeChat, its not really a phone anymore, its a WeChat Terminal.
I guess the language barrier has a lot to do with this. I mean there are also Taiwanese news, but they instinctively don’t trust anything from HK, or Taiwan because they have been programmed to ignore those “evil rebel secessionists” so only what comes from Beijing is considered the truth.
And what’s worse, there are some “influencer” bullshit with videos teaching people how to parents. Basically a bunch of filial piety shit and advocacy of corporal punishment if their children “misbehaves”, “video games are bad”, “work harder”, “if you spend you free time to relax enjoy yourself, you’re wasting your life”, a whole bunch of bullshit, on par with the western Youtube “influencers” acting like some sort of gurus.
Which is probably why I never had much of “happy memories” growing up, life is so fucking miserable because of propaganda and these “influencers”. Why the fuck is it still okay to hit your children, wtf society?
I just facepalm and don’t even bother, they’re too deep into the propaganda machine. All I said to them is: “if y’all don’t wanna get deported, y’all better hope Harris wins”.
Welp, I guess we’re in the dark timeline.
So… Roll the dice. Deportations? Or perhaps cecot? Gitmo? Their small bussiness and all their assets surely are gonna get confiscated ironically by accusations of being “CCP Spies” (they’re not spies lol, just idiots that watch too much WeChat, but surely that would be a convienient excuse by the tyrant in chief)
Sometimes all you have to hope is for them to die, so the next generation take the mantle and can fix this.
As for my brother, he’s in some conspiracy rabbit hole, instead of the tyoical propaganda, he’s inventing wacho theories about the world, so not much better:
TLDR: My whole family is just so fucked up, guess that explains where my anxiety and depression came from, this shit does really run in the family.
