I have a close friend that I've known 20 years who became obsessed with right-wing politics. even though I'm liberal, I don't make it my entire personality and life. But anyway... I was talking to him this morning casually like friends do.

Me: "Hey man. Do you have off today for MLK day?" Friend: "No, I have to work today." Me: "Damn, sorry to hear. I have off today since it's a company holiday." Friend: "Yeah, I work for a living. Guess that's the difference me and people who live in an ivory tower." Me: "Uhh I work for a living too. Idk why you're acting like I don't?" Friend: "I didn't mean you specifically. But you’re off and I’m not so it shows that you get to relax at least. You should be able to handle the truth lol. There's no shame in admitting that I'm a harder worker than everyone else. you shouldn't be so sensitive"

Honestly, he's not unique, either. I've met so many people who are conservative, obsessed with right-wing stuff, and they're all like this. They act like they're special and the whole world is lazy, "no one wants to work anymore" attitude.

Yeah I have a friend that does this too. They try to do it to me and I'm just like ... I don't care working is fucking annoying and jobs suck. I just do it to fuck with them but it always blows their damn mind lol.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I can't find it, but there was a great meme of a tombstone that said, "worked really really hard". I'd also add that I acknowledge"blue collar" work being tough and important too. That's it.

Let him realize that everyone's doing their best.

Not sure about moist ;p haha, but he doesn't sound like a friend. At the very least, not one I for one, would consider so.

Even if you were better off than him, not that it sounds like it or I am inferring it, he shouldn't have to be an outright prick.

Playing the devils advocate though, reading your conversations without the right tone, I am wondering if he might have thought you were bragging about the day off.

"You should be able to handle the truth"

I...absolutely lose my mind when they say this.

Correct

It's a shame because if Conservatives would just look at who they're supporting for five seconds, instead of going "He's not a filthy librul." they'd realize they stole the Ivory Tower from themselves.

Goodbye "friend"

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Cons are the most average people usually. Just mid at everything but are told they are better because look at the riches around them. Ya, they need it. Just like elon needs to be the best gamer. That need to have others under is the most toxic trait.

[–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago

People who deliberately ignore struggles that others outside their immediate community experience, especially ones that they cause themselves, don't deserve to be listened to

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago

I dont think it is specific to conservatives. People who define their identity through their political views tend to be like this, regardless of their political views.

I have experienced similiar behaviour with people who identified as leftists, anarchists, feminists as much as with people who identify as conservatives, liberals...

The annoying thing is, that you cannot respectfully disagree with them on anything anymore, because they perceive it as an attack on themselves directly.

Some people are too stupid to understand to advocate for themselves against their owner daddy.

They only know to advocate for themselves against dirty migrant workers who gonna take their jerbs! But never against the owner hiring these undesirables.

To be clear, liberals have their own blind spots.

How is hiring some overpaid clown and make you sit through a "seminar" during work is DEI?

Having a work ethic is one thing. But it isn’t inherently satisfying to the ego unless you feel yours is better than others’, and lord it over them. Some people just can’t maintain their motivation without this.

This guy could learn a lot from women. The world is full of women who bust their ASS and never complain or brag or get a single second of recognition.

Hey, those boots won’t lick themselves

I'm not sure I agree that they're moist.

It is good to be moist, even better than being flaky

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Very moist. Very toxic. Like a 20 year old mattress, saturated in bacon grease and peppered with dip-spit.

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

I don't want to work lol

Like a poisonous wet sock.
