I used to be allowed to take a rowboat out by myself at 10. What a bunch of pussies we are becoming.

Independence of any level is discouraged in the surveillance society we've built.

Yeah. The problem isn't that everybody is turning into wimps.

The problem is that a critical mass of people are turning into paranoid busybody boot licking narcs.

Yeah. I fucking hate it. I have serious issues with authority and it seems like there’s more and more restrictions every fucking day.

By this logic, the movie "Stand By Me" should be rated X.

Swede here, the day before I started school my mom and I walked the route she wanted me to go to get to school.

This route lead across a railroad crossing and several road crossings.

I was 6.

At 10 we were allowed to bike to and from the school.

My kid took the bus to the other side of town by herself when she was 9.

How do "concerned Karens" not know they are more likely to cause harm than good nowadays?

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago

Because in this case it seems they got "results" and now there are several children without a mom around because the state doesn't want you raising your kids to be capable of being independent

[–] firewyre@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Things have gone too far. Fuck Cops and fuck Karen too.
