My dad's always been an anti-intellectual prick but now he's a smug one having his worst impulses reinforced by assholes on the internet and his workplace.

The biggest problem is probably realizing he doesn't respect me as a fundament of his being. If I say anything it's taken, at best, as just an opinion. An opinion that can be discarded upon any cognitive strain to himself.

He will talk down to me on literally any topic, either a lot or just subtly. I was saying we needed furnace mortar for the wood stove and he told me it didn't exist or something because of the high temperatures. Fucking stupid.
