Horizontal family model when?? :angery:
You’re not my real dad, you weren’t even democratically selected :angry-hex:
I’m anti-authoritarian which is why I reject this concept you call a “bed time” :galaxy-brain:
Tbh a more communal form of raising children even if the parents still are and act like the parents would reduce some of the harm caused by the nuclear family
I agree wholeheartedly, but at the end of the day there will always be an adult/child hierarchy and comparing that dynamic to systemic racism or capitalism is quite the stretch. There’s better ways to critique family dynamics
The heirarchy of childhood is not unjust, unlike racism, capitalism etc. but it is still a worthwile part of growing up to allow a child to question, push the boundries of, and subvert the heirarchy, if for no onther reason than to learn how to do it when the heirarchy is unjust.
Sorry you had bad experiences with teachers. But I grew up with a emotionally abusive mom and had mostly good experiences with adults who weren’t my family. I strongly think that children having a variety of close relationships with adults outside their family can help mitigate abuse, by increasing the likelihood of disclosure and showing a child what a healthy relationship with an adult looks like. I’ve talked with plenty of other people with parental trauma who agree that some degree of lessening parental domination of children by increasing the number of non-relative adults in their life is good and healthy for kids.
That said, the kind of absolute power that teachers have in classrooms to do that kind of thing that you experience does need to be changed as well. For one thing, I don’t think a single adult should be in charge of classrooms.
There’s still power exercised towards the children. I don’t think even foucault put into question the utility of authority, since it’s clearly identified as the only means to ensure discipline and transmit knowledge. This is a woke salad, a dumb regurgitation of something genuinely insightful, the very structure of the traditional family structure has been plenty questioned before and for good reason, but nobody has framed it in such stupid terms, until now.
Whoever hears “Imagine, walking down the street and every single person is a stranger” and thinks this is a good thing legitimately needs to be processed in a reeducation facility.
A lot of people have worked hard to leave their small reactionary communities where everyone knows each other for cities full of strangers.
:amber: “Communities are reactionary.”
Noah fucking Berlatsky, who tried to smear Chapo Trap House as “regularly saying the N-word”, then subsequently deleted the tweet like the sniveling coward he is
Love or hate Chapo, you cannot deny that anti-Chapo posters on Twitter are some of the most insane people on there.
Most of the bitching about cancel culture is stupid, but it’s amazing how fast everyone on twitter turns on someone like an inch from them politically and tries to prove they are a nazi on a barest shred of evidence.
I still at disbelief at the Antisemitic Christman Reptiles thing. It’s kinda affected my attitude to what can probably be described as “standpoint epistemology” popular on twitter.
I never really understood the Mattstream stuff about people obsessively jockeying for position in online spaces by trying to separate the virtuous from the damned, but then I started reading Twitter threads and bios instead of just screenshots and everything sort of clicked.
We should speak about the fact that children are treated like property but this is just cringe
The real version of this is that nuclear families are isolating and put most of society’s care responsibilities onto mothers.
