#ended up talking to my kouhai for three hours abt politics last night before we finally got back to our movie#she fell asleep for a whole half hour at almost four in the morning and i only noticed bc i was like 'are you seeing this shit sapph?'#abt the main character and the only woman in the movie falling in love and she didn't respond#so i paused and was like 'sapph? you there? you awake? can you hear me?'#and she wasn't so i changed screens that i was sharing to firefox and started watching videos by an anarchist i respect#she woke up towards the end like 'what's going on?' and i was like 'you fell asleep :D'#and she apologized like eight times and i'm like 'it's not a big deal you're mostly just lucky i noticed before the end'#and she thought she fell asleep for like two or three minutes but she was actually out for abt 45 minutes#anyway i respect the way she had a level discussion w/one of my old english teachers abt conservatism n stuff#n abt how he has white privilege and stuff bc i'd have just rocked back kicked my legs up onto the desk and been a little shit arguing#and like the most astonishing thing is how the english teacher is how he watched the debates and he just#does NOT remember trump NOT CONDEMNING WHITE SUPREMACY#and a lot of their argument from what i gathered by her recollection was him essentially going [citation needed] out loud#in the form of 'where'd ya hear that? social media? fake news kid' and he's right that you shouldn't get all your news from social media#but hearing abt the conversation and her lamenting abt how she needs to become more educated i was just like#'dude it's not your fault. you will learn. if i were in your shoes senior year i'd have been stumped in the same way.'#honestly the kind of rhetoric he was using to destroy her arguments were pretty familiar to me at this point#bc of the types of youtube channels i watch#still mad abt the 'jeff bezos buys the amazon trucks' vs. 'trump isn't in charge of paying his workers that's his managers' jobs'#so you can understand that the person in charge is reflected upon by his underlings' actions n decisions to defend capitalism#but not to condemn racism? sir? professor? what the fuck?#the worm speaks#anyway those are just some Thots
