Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?

  Get him something related to his interests. It’s weird to make Christmas political like this

    Christmas has always been political

      Yeah, I’m not watching “why we need a war on Christmas” on YouTube. Sorry

  This is totally valid. Fascism in this country is on extreme high. Especially in schools and other public places due to how the government uses propaganda at schools and banning everything related to being a good person.

  I don’t know the situation so it’s hard to recommend anything besides education, remember that there human and make mistakes, don’t dictate but strongly suggest ways that what there learning is fundamentally wrong. I have no kids. But whatever happens remember there human. And being accepting and loving can go a long way.

  It sounds like your question is not actually about what to get him for Christmas, but instead about how to cope with the situation and maintain a relationship with your son

    Well yeah, “how do i build a lasting relationship with my child before they start throwing me and all my friends in the gulag” is a pretty good question
