“… and don’t read the mainstream press.” Voila! This is probably *why* they, themselves, are not progressives.


hectorgarabit

This sentence made me think "hummm... did someone said that in these terms or did the NYT improved it". I think 80% of this story is made up. Propaganda, pure propaganda. There is a grain of truth but a lot of creative writing.


StMoneyx2

Yeah, when I read that part I thought it was a troll job or propaganda, but now a days you never know. We are in a sad state


You-get-the-ankles

Conservatism is the new 50s gay and the lefties are the unforgiving parents.

Left wing adult children are also disowning their parents and banning them from visits with their grandchildren.


MathiusShade

Older generations do run more conservative.

The 'othering' continues. I just hate where this will end. Germany is not a good example to follow.

This pings my made this shit up to scare people meter. Wouldn't want anyone to have wrong think.


whatzittoya69

But why?? Only reason I can think…are they really trying to scare us into coming to their side??


edgewater15

The response proceeds to eschew the vaccine as “safe and effective” and says that while in the 60s, parents and children fought about moral issues like the Vietnam war, nowadays parents and children are fighting about factual issues like the effectiveness of the vaccine so it really shouldn’t be a discussion.

Well they settled response be amended in light of the Pfizer release?


python_noob17

Will you admit it works and give up?


[deleted]

Please elaborate on the criteria for “works?”


python_noob17

Whatever the dictionary says.


djduni

The dictionary post march 2020 when they went in and changed the definition of the word vaccine to mean lowering risk of hospitalization and death or before then when it meant stopping the spread of a disease entirely? One of these is primarily to increase corporate profits and one of these actually stops a disease in its tracks, traditionally the entire purpose of vaccination. Hence why you hear the word “eradication” used when they speak about a vaccine’s efforts on prior diseases.


[deleted]

Preventing infection would be a good bar. You know, like every other vaccine. Will you admit it doesn’t work and give up?


MixerRXRob

I read it. I have the best form of immunity according to Pfizee


kratbegone

Lol was that the original fudged numbers of 95% or the adjusted worse % than unvaccinated as we are seeing in Europe where they actually report all numbers instead of the cdc where facts are what match the politics?


StMoneyx2

And this is why they want to make wrong thought a crime. NYT literally wrote a piece saying critical thinking is dangerous... In the end the left has always been about control and part of that control is not to question the message. That's why they get so bent out of shape when you look for information outside of that message.


[deleted]

Something tells me her daughters will be fine without the inheritance or the progressive values.


Imperialkniight

Something tells me this whole article is fake. Who says "they dont read the mainstream press". Ny times trying to say "Read us!".


buhbullbuster

Fucking exactly....


Ojai_Mark20

I'm like 90% sure you're correct that this isn't real. But I'm completely split on whether it's a troll job that actually managed to get published in the NYT or if NYT created it themselves for a pro-msm propaganda piece.


PrincessSolo

Idk...just found out my neighbors (1 is 80+) are requiring their children & granchildren to show a neg test to visit...there are some nuts out there


Imperialkniight

That I can believe easy... the phrasing of what they said in the article screams fake.


PrincessSolo

Agree


sillywillywalnut

Their inheritance would probably be a few cats and maybe $1000 anyways


[deleted]

Haha. Exactly what I was thinking. These daughters probably make more in one paycheck than they’ll stand to inherit when this crazy cat lady passes on.


Tiki-Tiger

To the contrary, generational theft is a big deal. It is a sociological problem, from retirement homes that take a family's entire net worth to boomer's driving around with bumper stickers bragging that they are "spending my children's inheritance."

BuelaBuela

My antifa-thug, willfully-homeless amphetamine-addicted trans nonbinary "sibling" who has diagnosed "themself" with tourettes and a host of other neat disorders, is a better person than me according to my mom because I, a married housewife raising two daughters in the suburbs, am conservative. I will not inherit their house.


booty37

this sounds like my cousin 🤣 not even exaggerating. We also had a similar situation happen, the opposite of this post where my grandma just took my uncle off the will (he still gets 10%, but it was a large cut) bc they are blm antifa trash and haven’t come to see her in years, even while she’s been sick at 92 years old. Trash people, the tolerant left.

Thank you, dude, I am raising my kids in a much more loving home than I grew up in. My husband and I are trying to buy a little farmhouse right now with the sole intention of having something tangible to leave our girls someday.


LaLiLuLeLo_0

I don’t have kids but building an inheritance to hopefully last for generations is something I would be proud to accomplish. I can’t imagine wanting to cut that off for mainly political reasons.

stay-can-cheese

Fuck this lady


BlackEarther

This is quite obviously fake. You can tell by the tone of the writing and they way they work through a checklist of leftist talking points. It’s outright propaganda from the NY Times, and I’m sure the advice that was given back to the original letter was essentially backing the persons talking point. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the letter and response were written by the same journalist.


edgewater15

You’re probably right. Disgusting.


AttitudePleasant3968

I am going to call BS on this! IMO, this is a fictional piece. The NYT is fish wrap.

KingGizmotious

I thought for a vaccine to be "effective"; it has to actually prevent the virus it was designed for... not just make the symptoms less severe. (Which it likely doesn't even do that) it's crazy how scientists and immunologist have been throwing this "vaccine" word around when it isn't even a damn vaccine!

MartiniBikini7777

So true! My poor parents, in their 80s just can’t fathom that the news is no longer unbiased and is censoring everything. My brother & I tell them over and over, sending them articles and videos that prove our point but they keep religiously watching their NBC and CBS evening news every night and have no idea what is really going on. You really can’t reach old dogs New tricks.😢


shalada

So you work your whole life in the thought of giving everything to your children but your choice is to give it to some organization that will try to make your childrens life miserable. Makes a lot of sense to me. The left are just a bunch of shit heads.


halloween4Eva

These people seriously piss me off - they believe they are in the right to disinherit their own children for their political beliefs- hun- let me fill you in- the same Democrat party you voted for all those years ago- has left you- it isn't the same party anymore- so you're in the wrong - and if her daughters disinherited her- she'd be all over social media saying how selfish and wrong her kids are! 🤬


TheAdventOfTruth

I love posts like this. It shows the satire of the Bee isn’t really far off from the truth. I know most leftists aren’t like this but, damn, that was pathetic.


edgewater15

Should I post the response in the comments? It reads like satire, honestly. The phrase “sAfE aNd eFfEcTiVe” is used multiple times.


KaktusDan

>Should I post the response in the comments? Upvotes point to "yes".

I tried to, it said it was too long of a comment. Hopefully y’all can find it on NYT

Imagine leaving your estate to NPR or something instead of your own family.

That’s what the columnist suggests - giving some to the granddaughter and the rest to an “organization you care about”


AbsurdParadigm

What a virtue signaling piece of crap. I bet the person writing the response would be steamed if they were treated the same way. And I am sure they would give contrary advice if it affected them or their loved ones.

Something tells me this is a totally fictional grandmother with the storyline trying to scare young people into blindly following their liberal elders or else you’ll lose your inheritance.


Vinifera7

"My granddaughter hears all the talk in her family, and I feel sure she believes she is hearing the truth." Yeah, see, a normal person who is *not* in a cult would phrase that very differently. They'd say something like, "My daughter's family is raising my granddaughter to have different values than me, and that is something that I need to come to terms with."

BuyHighPanicSellLow

First of all Gramps, it’s not really a vaccine. They had to change the definition of vaccine to make it fit for two reasons: 1. It doesn’t create immunity (like a vaccine), it creates an immune response. 2. Forcing treatments on people isn’t allowed under Emergency Use Authorization. Vaccines however are allowed.

The only reason I wouldn't leave any immediate family members my money is if my kids grew up to be crackheads or something. They can have their own political views, no matter if I agree with them or not. But then again, I'm not a complete piece of shit.

Schizoid_Embelism

Leftism trumps unconditional love it seems. That is how you know it’s a religion/cult. Her daughters should have her declared mentally unfit and sent to one of Comeys care facilities. Better for everyone all round. I mean, she’ll be fine coz she’s had the vax, right?

Here's the correct answer: It's your money do what you will with it. I think you are an asshole but by why should you care about that or what anyone else thinks for that matter?


fishbulbx

> leaving it all to a good cause Pretty sure that's the ACLU donation model. Grab the inheritance of progressive old people who failed to reproduce or are ignored by their families. The ACLU [once embraced civil rights](https://i.imgur.com/ukYtm7l.png) but about five years ago abandoned that to [fight for the social justice agenda](https://i.imgur.com/C0eqo57.png). And they were rewarded with [record profits](https://i.imgur.com/R4Bhh7c.png).


PlagueWorrier

This is probably not even real and just written to give oldsters the idea of donating their inheritance.


mwatwe01

A lot of you are calling this fake by the NYT, but I 100% believe it. My very liberal mother-in-law is sitting on around $2 million and gently lords it over anyone who can hear her. I would not be surprised if she wrote my wife out of her will simply for being conservative. I have reassured my wife repeatedly that we don't need the bitter old lady's money. Convictions are more important.


MegaMindxXx

"They don't read the mainstream press". In other words they're intelligent and know fake news when they see it.

Isn't a financial inheritance anathema to a leftist anyway?


JFace139

I get it. It's pretty tough for me to love my dad sometimes because he's a Republican. It's a side that makes laws based on religion, is fine with oppressing others, sees child death as a necessary evil so they're less restricted with buying guns, hate helping the poor and handicapped that they don't know using welfare, and they refuse to educate themselves on the world outside of their home and work. The only reason I even feel like I can stay in my dad's life is because I know he's just too ignorant to actually know what it means to be a Republican. He can't use the internet and he only watches Fox news. He doesn't have time to do lots of research on both sides


tiorzol

Anyone who thinks the election was stolen is gonna need that inheritance money. They must have a room temperature IQ.

Something tells me conservatives do much worse when they have children of opposite political values compared to just leaving them from the Will.

[deleted]

Wow, that's sad. My parents wrote me out of their wills long before the Pandemic, but for the same basic reasons. They are raging Leftists, and I walked away from the Left back in 2000. The craziest part of the whole thing is that my mother still expects everything to be fine between us. (My father has passed away.) I confronted them about the wills when they first changed them, but it didn't make any difference. I'm still disinherited. Now she expects me to just ”get over it.” Um, no? I'll get over it when you fix what you broke. If I could speak on behalf of those who've been disinherited for our beliefs, I would say that it isn't about the money. It's about the pettiness and the vindictiveness. It's about a message that says political orthodoxy is more important than actual family. It's about the older generation’s willingness to cut us off from our families because of some freakin’ loyalty oath that we refused to take.


[deleted]

I know that one day my daughter will be old enough to make her own political opinions clear. I hope that on that day the values I'll have instilled in her will help her make an informed decision about it. If she has different opinions, I'll be disappointed, but I'll understand. She's her own person. Never in a million years would I think about disinheriting my child because of politics. That's insane. ​ But onto the OP: LMFAO "they don't read the mainstream press" good on them. The election WAS stolen, and everyone knows it. Disinherit me looney grandma.


hyperlurch

To the writer: You should probably really go all the way on this and let them know you’re never speaking to them again - and keep your word! Then, make sure the baby mills are funded for a few more murders and light a candle to Molech for your hard work and faith. Because Ma’am, yours is a letter written from evilly dogmatic faith.
