3 months agoI’ve seen several articles about protests against tourists in Spain. I didn’t bother to read the articles, but I think it’s about housing prices being driven up because of air bnb. So maybe stay in a hotel if you go there?

This sounds very familiar. I don’t often try to talk politics around my family anymore, but they still feel free to regurgitate whatever nonsense conservative news has riled them up about around me. Its way to annoying to ignore, so I try to set the record straight when they do that. It doesnt matter though. I’ve completely laid out all the details on a topic, and they just stare at me. When I try to get a response its usually along the lines of “I don’t know about all that, but I’m not going to acknowledge that anything you said was right”. Its like they have to go check fox news before they know how to respond. They just assume I’m wrong about everything before I even start talking. Its rich coming from people who are constantly misinformed, and by their own admission don’t know much about any topic I’ve tried discussing. I’m on the verge of telling my dad “I want to think of you as a good person, but I’m running out of excuses for you”.
