  • My mom is a Jewish Russian-American, 3rd generation, granted, but she regularly brings up her Russian heritage in weird self-flagellation shows of devotion to the State Department. If anything reminds her that Putin exists, anything at all, she goes on long genocidal rants about how Russians are evil and there’s something wrong with their brains - to prove she’s not a hypocrite she then says she’d volunteer to be executed herself if that was the only way to get rid of all Russians.

    I pointed out that she is - verbatim - repeating Nazi rhetoric about people they tried to exterminate, and my mother, who, again, is Jewish on top of ethnically Russian, starts going in circles about how no, PUTIN is the next Hitler, because Russians are evil, we’re evil, oh my god we’re so evil, what is WRONG with us?!

    Rachel Maddow has turned my mother into a hysterical gibbon and I don’t know how to fix it.







  • I mean, it’s not like the game doesn’t treat you like a shithead for doing any of those things. The Racism path never, ever makes things easier. It only ever blows up in your face and you lose the respect of every single character in the game besides Measurehead and the nationalist chud outside the convenience store. And even Measurehead will still think you’re subhuman, even if he likes you personally.
