How do I stop being disappointed towards my parents, even though they’re trying to be well-meaning people?

Rebranding you say?

I just can't understand why they come on to a website known for mocking exceptional individuals on the internet and the proceed to put a Target on their back. It's like cutting yourself and jumping into shark infested water.
I'm pretty sure the halal world record here is sometime around 20 minutes after first post/thread.
 
How is it that your parents know you're reading Kacyznski's works? Did you tell them? How disconnected from reality are you that you can't anticipate their reaction?

Kacyznski is not dinner table conversation unless you are either teaching/writing/working in the area of political theory or working at the FBI/glow agency. Nearly everyone I know thinks he was batshit insane and justified murder/mutilation under the guise of political action.

Your parents are concerned (rightfully) that you're living at home and that you're casually informing them you're reading the works of a murderer. Get off your ass, get a job, support yourself and maybe help your parents out for a change (it doesn't have to be financially). Give them a reason to be proud of you instead of whinging they don't appreciate your quest for the works of obscure and violent political prison inmates.

Personally, I don’t get too bothered by what people say about me on the Internet. All I just wanted to do was vent on this board called “Deep Thoughts”.

Don't take this website to seriously fam, also the "I don’t get too bothered by what people say about me on the Internet" on Kiwi Farms tends to end as ironic foreshadowing, I've been here since 2013 and this just keeps happening non-stop.

The best way to enjoy this website is by laughing at stupid shit and NOT reveal your personal details in any way, step out of that line and you'll regret it dearly.

Maybe if you stopped posting threads like this and how you're a late bloomer, you wouldn't be such a disappointment. Stop trying so hard to be seen as deep. If you actually have and interest in that stuff, fine. Maybe take up a career studying the criminal mind, but don't do it just to impress people. And move out of your parents house if it bothers you so much. If you really that bothered by it, just jump in the deep end and learn how to swim.
 
There's nothing deep about this; you're an oblivious NEET trying to reframe the situation to make it seem like your parents are the crazy ones in this situation.

You know what, I’ll just rightfully take the “L” for this post.

You guys win (especially that big brain meme; I can’t compete with that)

Don't forget to apologize to your parents for trying to jedi mind trick them into believing you're the one that's disappointed in them rather than vice versa.

And remember that actions speak louder than words so do something real that you wouldn't have done if you weren't sorry.

That's the lesson I'd want to learn if I were in your shoes.

Not to be a communist at 20 is proof of want of heart; to be one at 30 is proof of lack of intelligence. - Georges Clemenceau
(Okay I've been a bit fast-and-loose with the translation)

Most people grow up and mature; that tattoo that seemed like a great idea at 18 will make you look like a prick in your 30's and you'll do everything possible to hide it.

Your parents have room to do the same; they could have become more worldly wise, or they could just detect that you're straying off the path they hoped for your success and they're trying to help set you straight again. I very much doubt it is done with malicious intent.
 
There's gotta be something you're not telling us, dude. No parent cares that much about what their late 20s adult son is reading unless there's a good reason to care. Are you sperging about how "tortured and misunderstood" Ted was to them? Are you so focused on reading pages of Unabomber crazy that you're not working or studying?
 
Out of curiosity, what are some viewpoints you've read in the past that your parents were cool with since they were "challenging?" If we know that, maybe it would make more sense why the Unabomber one is so displeasing to them.
