She’s almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she’s anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the indigenous population were about to invade the cities and kill everyone with poisonous arrows. I have access to her YouTube account and I’m trying to unsubscribe and report the videos, but the reccomended videos keep feeding her more crazy shit.

    After watching a hospice patient cry because (according to her) the Dr interviewed on Fox News talked about how he doesn’t do abortions anymore after performing a late term abortion where the mother went into labor and delivered the baby before he could kill it, so he cleaned up the baby and consoled it as he discussed with the parents their options on how to dispatch it after the fact. She was inconsolable. But in drinking Fox’s Kool aid, it was the only channel she would watch.

    I don’t understand what happened in this story.

    I think it’s hard to have a universal morality. I wouldn’t want my family forcing their moral judgements on me if the roles were reversed. e.g. I’m not a car guy, but my family members wouldn’t (even if they could) make it so it only drives to “approved” locations.

    Like the other commentor said, I think it’s better to talk about these issues, though that too can be hard, I can’t say I’ve made much visible traction.
