    We live in a rape culture. I know because almost every woman I know has experienced it and we are punished for standing up to it.

      not rape, sexualized.

      these kids wouldn’t think this way if the content that was pushed on them wasn’t so hypersexualized.

      I saw a 8 year old “twerking” at a school event. how’d they learn that? who showed them it? where is their parent, and why aren’t they teaching them this is inappropriate? why aren’t any of the school chaperones stepping in?

      I’m not saying ban the content, I’m saying parents need to be more responsible. I’m saying we have a socioeconomic problem that hinders parents from teaching their kids morals and instead the kids are being brainwashed by corporate interests to sell more and increase profits. they’re doing that by selling sex as a commodity, and the children are watching it then imitating it.

          a UBI would help immensely, along with free healthcare and childcare.

          most adults work two, sometimes three, jobs just to make ends meet. that leaves them too exhausted or unavailable to care for their children properly.

          I believe the first step towards reversing the collapse of our society begins with giving children a chance of more time with their parents.

          Try to get away from monomaniacal thinking. It’s the downfall of any worldview. The Nazis and Hitler had their own obsession. They saw absolutely all of history, progress, struggle, everything as a grand story of race against race. They found ways to interpret every problem or historical event as a race struggle.

          In the same way, one can myopically paint everything as a class struggle. But the truth is some things just aren’t related to class. And if you myopically view the world as only one of class struggle, you end up making the same kind of unforced errors that the Nazis did when they tried to approach everything from a race-based lens.

            If the US were a socialist/communist society, we would’ve had more classes and lessons on respect and consent. Seriously!
