Not me, but my dad and study abroad dad got into an argument about the Ukraine war. My dad is a standard pro Ukraine American liberal. Study abroad dad is also a liberal, but he stans Mearsheimer, so he has this weird hodgepodge ideology where he criticizes NATO expansionism but also loves Gorbachev and Yeltsin.

The closest I came was saying I wasn't a fan of Miracle on Ice, so it went very smoothly. I still had to get away a number of times cause I was getting overwhelmed by too much talking and simultaneous loud conversations.

It is but he was talking about Hamas using human shields and using hospitals as bases and other such bullshit, it was in a racist context, then he talked about not liking the way Biden was doing the war but being against a ceasefire.

Can we have wholesome stuff too?

My fam (mostly centrists) watched Barbie on Christmas Eve and they now kinda start getting what the difference between liberal feminism and actual feminism is, without me having to interfere, this is the most i could get out of this i think so it was a good day.
