    Take away the kids access to communicate with friends and what the fuck do they have left? It’s not like we have youth centers or shit any more. Barely had any when I was a kid; that’s why I fell in love with the internet.

    Attack the actual problem: The owners of propagandized social media platforms owned by billionares that have all the money and reason to use those platforms to gain further influence and power. They are the real reason everything is falling apart; not because a 12 year old is on Twitter.

      what the fuck do they have left?

      Lots of things! Wellness farms, military readiness camps, factory labor. The possibilities are endless!

      well, i grew up in the countryside and we did have youth centers. i can guarantee you i made a wide circle around them, in the sense that i avoided them like the plague

      it’s not the absence of youth centers that’s the problem, it’s the fact that i grew up in a very backwards rural countryside full of the exact type of shitheads that you would expect to find there. one person more annoying than the next, the excesses in alcohol consumption weren’t the worst part, it was how people looked at people who didn’t fit their definition of “normal”. really not a good place to be.

        You can tell who had the privilege of easily comforting to where they grew up and who never had a choice through conversations on this topic

      It’s not taking away kids access to communicate with friends though. There’s a million and one ways kids can communicate these days. It’s taking away adults’ access to other people’s children.
      I agree the pedogarchy is the main issue here, and if you kept up with the 1% of files that were released you would know that having access to children on social media was part of their plan. We can attack that plan from both ends without some slippery slope bullshit about how children need facebook to stay in touch with each other. We all know that’s some grade a bolognium.
