    I was also right libertarian, although I have been called a fascist for that, , anyway I shifted from that slowly into anarchocristianism and I will stay here. I just don’t believe in government anymore only in communities and obviously in God but that’s another story.

    I just want people to have their needs covered, to have strong sense of communities (love your neighbors) in non violent environments and I think human government is inherently violent either physically violent or economically violent. Jesus spoke of all this.

    What I think people needs to understand is it’s not the same to be left in the US than in Spain for example, different countries have different kinds of issues caused by different ideologies. So it’s easy to understand why someone in Germany loves worker unions but in Spain don’t because in Spain the biggest ones (UGT and CCOO) work for the government (the so called Leftist Psoe)

    That time my cousin and aunt made a scene the first night in the funeral home after my mom died. That’s irreparable because

    1. My mom died that fucking day, 2 years after my dad and they were supposed to all be close.
    2. It was due to my personal life (my soon-to-be-wife). To add some context: she is a foreigner so there is a lot of racism and a bit of classism.
    3. Her only living sister.
    4. It’s been 6 months and they haven’t contacted me, apologized or anything,

    Don’t get me wrong. They are forgiven, but it hurts and it will hurt for the rest of my life so I don’t be able to ever open the door for them to come back into my life.

    My parents were my best friends too. I could talk with them about anything (they both died in the last 3 years) but I also had a network of friends, I grew up with them, then people I have known along the way and people my parents were friends with I am trying to keep the connection. Then there is the woman I am going to marry with whom I have a relationship like my parents but with obvious differences.

    It’s not bad that you dad is your friend but you need to know more people, you are young though.
