    Ideologically, no. In reality, yes.

    Had you not been participating in the activities, they would likely not have any attention placed on them.

    In the same way you are trying to initiate changes by putting pressure on those who you feel are doing wrong, those who feel that YOU are in the wrong will put pressure on you. Harassing your relatives not only puts pressure on you from your relatives, but is also designed to break you emotionally by watching the people you care about be hurt.

    I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s the way things work.

      Just because a family is going to predicably do the wrong thing doesn’t mean that the wrong thing is somehow right.

      “In reality, they’re going to both be wrong and argue very loudly that they arent. Take some time to contemplate a good redirection when they try to blame you instead of the facists.”
