Just wanted to vent a bit about my older brother after I was at his son birthday party. We do not talk much so I decided to catch up with his life.
- He got offended when I told him that he is the whitest guy I know. Apparently calling him white was somehow bad. I only said that because without lotion he burns in the sun, full red in a minute.
- We talked about what books he reads now since it is his favorite hobby. Apparently he only reads books with harems in them and lesbians which is fine by me of-course but then he took time to educate me about "the spectrum" which by the way is retarded.
- He only watches movies with a lesbian or at least a bisexual chick as main role
- He told me how good it is to change D&D dark elves and orcs - he does not play it and knows I am a fan - think he only mentioned to piss me off
- He like socialism for some unknown reason, people under socialism worked hard as fuck without having a choice in the matter (parents are from Romania) and he is at a level of lazy that I can not describe.
- Very pro putting social political messages in games/movies and books.
- Totally ignores his son education, the boy was hurting my grandmas dog and he did not care - I mean take him to a doctor behavior not just pull her by the tail. Luckily his wife is a huge capitalist fan, conservative, daughter of an ortodox priest so the kid will be fine.
- Hates J.K. Rowling now :)) I wonder why as he used to be a fan. I chuckled at this one.
- And the worst part he apparently hates me for not being miserable - not kidding. Just because I like what I do (although the company is "progressive"), I love my beautiful wife and I watch my health apparently is somehow privilege although we are brothers and had the same start.
Conclusion: He apparently developed some kind of kinks I do not want to know. He is doing poorly at his job because he is lazy and would rather read then do his work. Hates society and anyone who is happy. Hates being a white male. And wants everyone to be miserable and remove the opportunity to be successful from others. How high does this rank on a SJW scale?
Bonus: What my grandma has to say about socialism: If you are in a point in life where someone else tells you what to do and what to think then you are the same as dead. (is a rough translation from Romanian)
I'm in the same boat with my twin brother - I don't think he's as far down the rabbit hole as yours, but I'm constantly telling him to beware the cult mindset.
The night before my daughter's bday he sent my mom a bunch of texts about being embarrassed that he was the only one in the family who didn't vote for Trump. He apologized the next day and said he was "in a bad place" when he sent them.
There definitely does seem to be a strong correlation with disliking people for being happy in the US and not hating ourselves for being white/American/well-off/whatever.
Misread this as "reddit hole" and at this point, given the context, there's not much difference.
Edit:
[x] Doubt.
He backtracked when he realised none of his bait caught any interest. He was either looking for converts or someone to argue his virtue against.
fraternal twin?
identical
Strange. When and how do you think you guys started to deviate so much from one another?
Odd you ask since my wife and I just had that conversation. Around 22yo - he kept having people "break" into his car and take stuff b/c he was too lazy to lock it. He said he didn't care b/c they weren't taking anything he cared about. I asked, what about the fact that they are breaking into your personal property without your permission? He just shrugged, didn't care.
First time I've ever not understood his thinking.
When they're born.
Identical twins are the reason concepts like your blood or genetics determining your life is wrong.
Two objects identical in makeup can never, ever experience the same events in the same way and will always turn out different as a result.
Additionally for identical twins sometimes that's enough of a reason for wanting a unique identity not based on their twin or solely through comparison.
