      Haha, yeah. Well, more like he says it in front of his friends and my mom’s friends, who don’t really believe him that I’m a commie, and he comes out looking like an unhinged old Cold Warrior who sees a nonexistent Bolshevik behind every blade of grass and would call people communists for being in favour of moderate social-democratic policies and against bigotry and hate. (Which he would do, because he is an unhinged old Cold Warrior, but I think it’s funny to see people not believe him even when he’s accusing an actual commie.)

      I wish I had friends. I wish I had comrades IRL that would react like that to my dad calling me a Bolshevik or a “filthy pinko” or some other Cold War insult in front of them.
