Like all the previous fascist waves, they all centre around discrimination. It is about taking advantage of the societies inherent discriminatory behavior, in the past this was mainly racism - in this case however, its ageism.

It is the fact that anyone young is treated as a subclass citizen or in fact not even a person. ID laws are examples of fascist unjust laws which consequently invalidate the freedom and speech of young people. Our society rewards infantilization of others, and it shows how truly ignorant and adulcentrist we all are.

Finally, I don’t believe all of mankind will look back, as all the cases with fascism is “ignorance is strength”, so tracing the problem back to our societal ageism and discrimination will only be done by a select bunch.

They only seem to care when it benefits them directly. Punishment is collective, enhanced by the poisoned individualism destined to segment and distrust the other people we should be seeing as friendly. The fact is, anything other than life or death is essentially lies and deceiving, this is evident with the “protect the kids” and the like - using a particular minority as tools of discrimination.

Like you said, from the moment of birth, we are destined to keep the bone crushing machine running. Manipulated and exploited is one way to describe this

Unlike the state mandated garbage, this OS is more realistic with the capabilities and expectations of its users.

Fighting against pedophilia

How exactly is fighting against a mental illness going to solve anything? The majority of cases right now, Epstein, et all, are rapists not pedophiles in that context.

Pedophilia isn’t going to magically dissapear, alas it should be less scrutinised such that those who are I’ll are helped. Rape is a crime which should be fighted against, an illness is not a crime.

Marriage on its own is a problematic concept. The problems with child and essentially teen marriage are the tip of the iceberg.

It is the case where thousands of people past the common age are still being abused. And even within countries where the children’s rights have been ratified, those individuals are yet again prone to abuse when they reach the arbitrary number which is the common age.

That’s because only the rich are allowed to innovate, and even if their innovation fails spectacularly, they have enough power to blindfold the public essentially making it appear as a success (e.g: AI).

child driver’s license Well, teenager, but that’s still a child

Not to be pedantic, but make up your mind here. A child is physically unable to drive nor do anything that requires complex thought. A teenager is not a child, both by definition and by physical aspect. This is essentially ageism, by infantilizing teenagers, including your past self. Especially, since you’re correlating adulthood to that particular time period later on.

I agree, we shouldn’t be painting false pictures like this. The hard truth is that being an adult is objectively better, no matter what experiences you had during childhood or teenhood.

The thing is, romanticizing lack of rights is what truly is the problem here, this isn’t focused on the age - but the lack of control. Its usually this aspect which is included in these “childhood romanticism” posts. Age relation is just the consequence for this lack of rights.

Ultimately, autonomy should exist for all people - no matter the age. This is particularly important for teenagers which seem to be constantly ignored within society. Failing to understand this is what will lead to another “Australia style” blanket ban.

The thing about these comparisons is they are usually one-way, disregarding some of the more important aspects within the current situations.

That could possibly be it as well. It really depends in what tone you read the passage in and how it is interpreted. I do agree on the faulty ai; it doesnt matter how young or “innocent” you are, if they want to mess your life up, they will.

don’t think this level of thinking is out of the ordinary for a 12 year old.

Agreed, that’s why I find it weird to be bragging about the age. It could be insulting for the person, and specifically their intelligence.

What does the age have something to do with this? Its a genuine shower thought, nothing related to age.

It’s such a common occurrence on the internet

Let’s not project the blame on the internet. The problem is everywhere, the rampant misogyny is out of control within all dimensions. The system is designed to indoctrinate and churn out misoginy just like racism and ageism is.

I do appreciate that you are refering to “most” guys rather than being age specific; also the rampant rise in mysoginy isn’t their fault. It is helpful to look at the big picture, to realise that men and women of all ages are forcefully fed propaganda used to further divide us all.

Such laws have no sense when you actually think about it. Such illogical reasonings exist within all law sectors, it is an expertly crafted story made to indoctrinate. Drugs may be an example, but laws which silently encourage mysoginy, racism and ageism also exist, and must be brought to light.

The only problem is the years of indoctrination which stand behind such laws. Laws may not be factual or even morally right, but it doesnt disqualify them - and that’s by design.

The ruling class are basically puppeteers, moulding the public into a shape they seem as “appropriate”. The result is the proletariat attacking its own people just because the “law says so, therefore it must be right”.

“Laws are for thee, but not for me” - every elite class person to ever exist.

Also it doesn’t even help the kids.

Why is this a secondary response? The situation at hand is specifically focused on the children and also teens. What about their consent? Their freedom? Their identity? The problems seemed to arise only when they targeted adults, otherwise the ageism seemed just “fine”. Fake quotes on how it “doesnt even help them” is yet another brick thrown back around. There is no room for ageism here, lets be real, this situation is harmful for all.

It is essentially what ignorance does. Adults are not the centre of attention here, children and also teens (which are most definitively lumped it aswell) are also people; let’s not forget that.

Pedophilia is a mental illness. There isn’t a “both” here, pedophilia on its own doesnt make anybody a criminal. So please stop disregarding the severity of the situation, essentially spreading ableist disinformation.

Its rape not pedophilia. He is a rapist.

They are infantilising people by making excuses that this is for the children. Teenagers may also be under 18, yet they don’t seem to care - they’re lumped right in with clueless children.

Teenagers are also people, and are closer to adults where they have their needs and wants. This goes against their safety, by duming them down. Its only a while since theyre going to consider under 25s as children as well - “for the peoples own good”.
