Holy shit people under capitalism are fucking evil towards the most vulnerable people.
How many boomers are losing their shit over kids committing petty crimes is insane.
You’d think they’d click that it’s because of poverty and, you know, there being NO FUCKING FUTURE.
But no, old people are screeching about how kids are little shits that need to be punished even more. They want to just arrest everyone and create career criminals instead of solving the real root causes behind it (poverty, capitalism, lack of society caring about their problems).
They act as though this was caused because “people are too nice to their kids now.”
Holy shit, are you joking?
These poor fucking kids man.
I hate that the media can just heard old people like this, stop them from seeing issues created by powerful adults by attacking literal children.
It’s the most obvious fash propaganda technique and yet they fall for this kind of shit all the time
Society has been turned into child sacrificing monsters, what hope so we have of a better future if THIS is what the people with the most power believe.
A species that eats its own children is doomed to extincton.
From what I hear this has been a thing in
for ages.
The US also obviously has it to some degree and has horrific policies towards the kids, but I don’t think its the same level of cultural obsession rn at least
i remember an article from a UK rag about british youths being targeted for antisocial behavior by the police and neighbors.
the antisocial behavior: gathering in groups in the public park, standing around and talking to each other. telling jokes. laughing.
