"I waggle my dick in front of my brother and he punches it every time"
From OPs context, and they could certainly clarify, but it sounds like they just won't shut up about class struggle, wealth inequality... For which for the terminally online there is an endless appetite for and you can find a cozy echo chamber to nuzzle up in.
So his brother doesn't share the same views on Elon musk.ok. he obviously knows this by now. Why does he insist on asking about it? Why ask a question that has no bearing on either of your lives where if you don't get an agreement on you'll be so mad you'll not go to their wedding when you know the answer ahead of time.
They're both assholes. He shouldn't go to the wedding but honestly based on the context as presented I don't think the brother is going to be upset about it.
Maybe you should shut up instead of thinking someone is an asshole for disliking a nazi? What the fuck are you on?
He's not an asshole for disliking a Nazi. He's an asshole for deciding to spring a question he knows the answer to which apparently demands of him to boycott a wedding.
His idiot brother likes Elon Musk. The brother isn't disinviting him. OP is the one who created and is enforcing a rule about Elon.
I have no idea what the family dynamics are, but if they're otherwise good and you're willing to burn your family relationships because they don't share your views on Elon Musk, wowza.
If that was really the case and if I was OP I'd go to that wedding, get absolutely shitfaced in the least amount of time my liver allows me to and let the shitshow begin.
There is no point in peaceful confrontation when the world is burning.
It's amazing to me how willing people are to play the part of the shrill reee-ing blue haired archetype foil that Republicans created.
I'm going to get drunk and ruin a wedding. THAT will fix the world.
No, dumbass, it's going to validate everything fox news has been telling their base about the left. You have absolutely no self awareness, and will ruin your brother's wedding as if he was the CEO of Shell even though he's a construction worker in rural Montana.
Be the strawman the Republicans want you to be!
You are projecting a lot of things I haven't said: I'm not crashing a wedding for any sense of politics, this is beyond any political motivation. This is personal.
If I have a beef with my brother, or any other member of my family, and they invite me to their wedding, boy am I making them regret this decision.
Everyone at that party is going to think twice before sending me that golden print letter in the future. No one thinks you're a "crazy liberal" when you're puking orange juice and vodka you brought from home in the punchbowl and then shout out "Don't worry everyone, it's just gonna taste better!"
How ironic.
"A nazi thinks people suck!!! So if I'm behaving NORMALLY, then I'm the problem!" Is essentially what you say.
Who then is the problem? If you can't see that for yourself, I suggest you remove your profile from Lemmy.
