One of my relatives’ (almost) entire family works for Lockheed and Raytheon; the youngest also graduated from Harvard and votes Biden. Another relative works for the FBI. One is an oil executive. A few of them are landlords. A few of them are trying to become landlords.

I realized one of my relatives fought in the Korean War recently. Like, I knew he was in the army and if I bothered to think about how old he was I would have known, but I never did. I just had to casually sit there and keep joking and talking with my family while it sunk in that my family, my blood was over there, doing that. That evil was not so far removed from me. It was chilling.

My favorite relative (before he died) was in the navy for Korea. Had some real racist ideas about black people too, specifically crime stat bullshit. But weirdly, he had a thing about helping people from Central America. Guess he never got that particular bout of propaganda. It kills me to know what this country will do to even people with the best hearts.

Sounds a lot like the crowd I used to hang out with in college. And some biological relatives and in-laws. :doomer:

Almost all facets of the "American Dream" covered.

I was just lazily fantasizing yesterday about making a shitty "Harvard" t-shirt and or hoodie (or any of the Ivies, Harvard just comes to mind easily). like a completely obvious knock off. like the item is that red/crimson, or better still close-but-not-right. and like a shitty font. or straight up misspelled like "HAVARD" or "HARDVARD".

and when someone asks about it, just be like, "oh, it's to let people know I'm smart"

**Edit: this is basically the Dwight trolls Andy routine but turned up to11. seems an ideal way to fuck with people who wear the legit merch unironically.

I've seen intentionally misspelled car tshirts like "Camero" and "Fnord"

I know a non-binary person who drives a hybrid car, changed their name to a synonym for "Peace," and works for a defense contractor
