My dad’s always been an anti-intellectual prick but now he’s a smug one having his worst impulses reinforced by assholes on the internet and his workplace.

Yeah my parents are cooked when it comes to their political views. They got extremely conservative when I got older and right now it got to a point where my mum started to doubt vacinnes’ efficency. My parents also believe in a fuckton of conspiracy theories, think that liberals in my country are “communists” and are generally racist and prejudiced in every way imaginable.
The only good think I can think of when it comes to their political views is that they oppose Israel, but they don’t oppose Israel because they feel bad for Palestine and are actually anti-imperialist. They just oppose zionists because they don’t like jews
When I talked to my dad about Palestine he just said that “arabs and jews are natural enemies” and “they will always fight”. When I watched a play on TV about polish antisemitic campaign in 1968 they got annoyed and said the jews “deserved it” (literally). Unfortunately I don’t see a way to change my parents’ views on things like that
