remember: when your nazi family does their hourly salute to a portrait of hitler, maybe try saying that's bad

if you run into any sensitive political topics at the dinner table this holiday season, try turning on that famous goon charm and calming things down with a line like "No YOU shut the gently caress up, Dad"

If their answer is anything other than "those goddamn Italians", it may be time to start throwing silverware.

He's now saying Donald Trump is a non-political chaos entity who mostly has disrupted US politics by chance.

Sadly he's just a poo poo lib at heart.

Feel free to alienate close family members based on beliefs you have formed on an internet forum. While most experts would consider this behaviour cult-like, you aren't having sex with anyone in the 'cult' so it's technically a different thing.

Make sure to print out your favourite memes on photo paper and laminate them ahead of time so you can produce them as a retort at opportune moments. Try to pace yourself though, nothing's worse than blowing your entire meme deck 15 minutes into a debate on the capitalist superstructure with Uncle Greg.

while drinking with my family, my dad was talking about the norad santa tracker. he was trying to illustrate something like how santa moves across the globe according to the motino of the sun/according to time zones. he said he thought that santa had started in vietnam. i said "i think the vietnamese have had enough of white people dropping 'packages' on them" and got a hearty laugh and a "touche," mostly, i think, because everyone was already fairly drunk, rather than on generally anti-imperialist lines.

cheers, cspammers
