And here's how we turn children who have an innate sense of right already instilled in them into monsters to fit into society :cryptocurrency:

As a parent I'm a bit peeved by this. Kids are the most selfish creatures on the planet until you teach them about right or wrong.

Lib: (😌 explains how capitalism works.)

"Yeah I get how it works, I'm saying the way it works is bad."

Lib: (😐...😠 explains how capitalism works again but louder.)

I remember being a kid and going to a simulated work field trip and when they were asking who wanted to be CEO I was the only one who raised their hand because it sounded boring.

I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do, except that I could get loans and that I wouldn't really have to pay them back since it was a one day trip. So I got a few loans, bought everyone pizza and then left my business insolvent.

I asserted to an adult that the simulation wasn't like real life and the adult was just like "well...."

You see the same thing with kids and realizing that meat is pieces from the cadavers of sentient beings. Example here (and the parenting subs on :reddit-logo: are full of similar examples, including various psychos suggesting the parents lie to the kid about it).

Yep: https://www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2022/04/13/eating-meat-is-less-morally-acceptable-for-kids-than-adults-finds-study

I went through something similar when I was 10. I stopped eating meat once it fully set in that the chicken on my plate was once a living animal that didn't have to die. Stayed vegetarian for many years until I went vegan.

Have they considered admitting that all the arguments the 5 year old made are objectively correct? :thonk:

So much of anglo christian ideology is responsible for this indoctrination. Teaching kids from a young age that everyone is naturally evil and self centered does not instill hope for humans and mutual cooperation. It feels so much, in our modern times, as a primer for self centered behavior and politics and it's sad how little it jives with, say, Jesus teaching people to stand up for/aid the least fortunate/downtrodden.

I'm glad those lessons were part of what lead me to Marxism, but I'm continuously saddened by the way it's justified my families shitty politics.

Roughly 70% of adults only teach kids that sharing is good because they don't want to listen to kids crying over a toy
