      there is a very harmful liberal pacifist tendency in a significant part of the population which leads to people being punished for fighting back against injustice?

      You think a significant part of the population would torture their child over this?

        Yes, definitely. Plenty of parents would just see “my son punched someone at school and got suspended for 2 days” and they would do everything in their power to make those 2 days hell as punishment. I’m honestly amazed some of y’all seem not to be familiar with these types of parents.

      Yeah you know what, I do in fact think that you’ve made up the idea that liberals are prone to torturing their children. Gonna stick with that. No idea what any of the rest of that has to do with torturing their children, and most of it is highly conservative behavior, so. Just gonna ignore it.

          The (again made up) assumption that I’ve lived a sheltered life is another attempt to dismiss the argument as baseless instead of addressing it. You have no evidence for these claims, you’ve just got your prejudice.

            You’ve definitely lived a sheltered life if you don’t believe in shitty parents, idk what to tell you.

              My argument has never been that shitty parents don’t exist, don’t try to present like I have ever claimed that. Everything here is pointing out that your fantasy - that a significant proportion of parents fall into the category of “pacifist liberals who torture their kids” - is something you just plain made up.

              Edit: Oh. Well thank you, mods!

                I didn’t “make up” anything, I commented about an experience I have witnessed among many, many of my peers. Shitty parents who fetishize rules and uphold them over what is right are very common in my personal, lived experience. I am happy for you that you find this so unbelievable, because it means your life has been much better than mine.

                    I just made an offhand comment saying I hope his parents are supportive despite the fact that many aren’t. Then a dozen people dog piled me with “actually there’s no such thing as an unsupportive parent you’re making that up this is a psyop!!!”

                    From my perspective, you’re the one strangely committed to denying that there has ever been a shitty parent anywhere on Earth.
