This is a perfect post about Intersectionalism, because:
Both my brother & his son are a ton of attention devoted to them, in their learning & Etc., wealthy, Caucasian races neighborhood & my brother formerly did not bother with caring about the first disagreement & obviously his son is from a different generation than anyone in the house & while both are of those spoiled & privileged people, the son is even more spoiled & privileged than the father & do not feel bad about being in that world
&
I have never been- with a lot of money (grew-up in a ton of fighting household, poor & in mixed races neighborhood, before brother was in his preteens & father & mother ran way from that environment), spoiled (obviously probably have some privileges, since birth) & like anything spoiled & privilege by anything. I prefer to carefully (as my nature) wade into differences in environments & people, to understand & get what I believe as right as I can, so I would have preferred to not move away, really regret my parents not being able to live with others with differences. I went to many levels of schooling & found educators that really helped me, went to not big deal schools & was in ESE classes right into HS; where he rarely expresses liking any education, subjects, educators, goes to big deal schools & almost all classes are as high as you can go.
The first was the son was making an French omelet & I had pointed-out that he should not be using plastic spatula, he was saying it was cooking instrument, his father was even backing me up, so I just left it at that it is poisoning himself.
The second was the continuing to make the French Omelet, he claims is hard to do (even though it is only eggs & butter made into a crepe), I added he should throw in some vegetables, he was telling me that it would be too hard to make the omelet folded into a crepe & then it would not be a French Omelet.
At this point I am very nice about it all & not arguing over it, though the son (& father, on some things) acts extremely disrespectful to at least 1-member of our house, every single time he is around us & like the family just do not know anything (even his father).
He eats so little vegetables it is scary & his father has told us he takes way too long on the toilet; this is coming from a person who himself does not eat enough vegetables & has toilet problems at times.
The third was about the date labels on foods packaging, I being a Vegan for multiple decades was very disrespected that he would not believe me that the dates you see most commonly (even says in most cases) Best By Dates is not an Expiration Dates. He even said his cooking teacher has told him that food goes bad at those dates/Best By Dates. I seriously doubt any teacher of cooking would say that/ I had DuckDuckGo several websites (USDA <not a good fan, so more websites>, Univ. of Maine Extension, a cooking/consumer safety higher education school & Etc.) & read to him, what they all said about every single possible dates on food packaging, in The USA & offered to give him the URLs, for him to read them for himself. At the time he was just moved on & was quite on it,
In case readers do not know, the only food in The USA required to have expiration dates on the packaging is Baby Food, my mother & I were shocked that that was true. Our country does such a horrible job on regulating safety in Foods.
Later, as a political argument (all the subjects I am dead serious about, extremely knowledgeable & think outside the box about) blew-up at a restaurant,-automobile ride home) would not accept that he was wrong about anything.
In the parking lot a Intersectional realization came to my mind, he is behaving like a political Far Right person or as I said than a Trumpite behaves when given information that challenges what they believe. It really concerning to me, because unlike so many better children I have met & are a lot better people, he has grown-up with so much wealth, stuff & privileges.
