Okay this is gonna probably make absolutely zero sense, but I’m gonna try and explain:
(This might cause some brain damage and you might lose a few braincells from reading this)
For context, most of my family are US Citizens, we were all born in China.
My mom (and my dad, somewhat) is just so big on “Tough on crime”, whenever there were alleged lootings during protests, my parents would be okay with them getting shot to death. Constantly blame “Democrats” for crime and the “migrant crisis”. Also love their Wechat and constantly play (Chinese) nationalistic songs and other propaganda on the fucking speaker. Also, if you are dealing with severe depression, and temporarily can’t work, they call you a “廢柴”, basically the cantonese term equivalent of the term “useless eater”.
My brother is into some crazy conspiracy theory that the Chinese Government is in a conspiracy to replace Han Chinese with, not only Chinese ethnic minorities, but African Migrants (like wtf dude), basically the equivalent of the “white replacement conspiracy theory” but in China instead (yea it sounds insane, doesn’t it? Like… buddy, China doesn’t even give permanent residency to foreigners, what the fuck is this insane conspiracy theory? Also, he’s a US Citizen, why the fuck does he care?). Simultaneously, he opposes racism from white people in the US (… some crazy hypocrisy, isn’t it? 🤨).
Tell me this isn’t just me with the most insane family in the world.
What do you mean by statue?
Also, what is your “batshit” thing? I find it interesting now that you have described a few of your family. :)
He’s about as dense and flexible as a statue.
I’m… Not sure? I guess I’m an artist. Trying to make that work in this capitalist dystopia is pretty batshit. I get by with my food delivery job and drawing art for furries.
Two jobs is torture, I hope you will be able to focus on your art soon.
Yeah… The opposite happened, I’m afraid.
Had to take on more hours from my delivery job to be able to pay for the insane rent prices here, which means I’m now really behind on my commission que, abd virtually never work on my own things anymore.
I’ll be moving someplace with a cheaper rent price soon, but it’s not that much cheaper.
